Thanks for posting this, Pianowolfi. It is very special, perfect for such a night as tonight, and shall accompany me a long time, I think. I like the melody...good to work with, and naturally stimulating the wonderful depth of your music to shine out. What excellent harmonic sense you possess! And a hushed simplicity.

Beautiful.

Thanks for posting.  :)

Hi wolfi,

Another very fine piece!  Your altered chords at the beginning caught my attention immediately--a beautiful effect.  I agree with furtwaengler on your wonderful harmonic sense. For me, this music has a translucence to it overall. Thanks for posting it.
