Hi Goldy :)
I like melancholic soothing dreaming like this. Some cool seventh chords. I don't know if you noticed but at 3.32 there is one particular cute little chord I like, I put it in loop for a while 8)

Thanks for your response, Wolfi. :)  I listened to that chord.  I didn't know I had any seventh chords in it!

Hi goldentone,

I just listened to your Reverie and enjoyed it. The reverie definitely captures scenes and reactions drifting through the mind, bringing changes in tone, dynamic, intensity, harmony, and mood.  I notice that you "keep the bass moving and changing" too, as the composers like to say.  At the very end, I liked how you changed the sense of tonality on that very last note--unexpected! 

Congratulations on your first improvisation.  Nice job!

Hi Rachfan,

Thanks for your kind words. :)  Yeah, I think I just made a last-second decision to "change" the ending.
