ooohhhh ... I liked!  I especially like the change at about 2/3 of the way through.  I couldn't find a minute and second counter on the situation up yonder, so I'm not positive where it is exactly that I'm talking about.  But, consider yourself absorbed  ;D

Very good indeed. It has a oneness to it in that it sounds like a complete thought in itself and does not suggest need for contrasting sections. The harmony is pleasing and evokes many things in the listening mind. The dynamics vary attractively without exaggeration. The asynchronous positioning of the melody lines is just right for the intended mood. There is something about the very simple conclusion which is remarkably unhackneyed. Being something of a frequent dud at endings myself, I appreciate this aspect.

All in all, definitely one to go on the next CD for playing in the hi-fi.

Glad somebody like :) And a few seconds after naming it "Impromptu" I came up with a better name, "Melancholy" .. oh well ...

I enjoyed it  :) I especially liked a section around 1:10 that kind of "stretched" a melody into dissonant boundaries. Nice.
