How beautiful!! And how special!

It's one of my very favorite pieces. Your interpretation makes me listen anew!! It's so different than any other performance I heard! You are giving it some very personal accents, views, secrets!
 
It's just so, so beautiful!! :)

*wants to cry, and listens again*

Thank you both, I am happy if it communicated these things!  It's been quite a fun trick to get a musically communicative balance in places like the second page, where the melody returns in the bottom half of the RH with the top half of the hand playing an obligato line in polyrhythm to the Bass.
