My mom's birthday present

Hello Achilles  ;D I thought your improvisation sounded like a prelude, lullaby because it was so placid and peaceful. I thought it had a structure of a ternary form or ABA but maybe that's just me. Nice listening to it.

I had no idea it followed a form for the most parrt. I have so much to learn when it comes to composing. Thanks for your analysis, I'm going to go do a little research on those forms you mentioned.
