This is really lovely. Thanks for posting it. I'm a sucker for any and all music that makes me feel like I'm flying, and this does.

Very nice improv. It is very calm and 'simple' in a way. I like simple.

What does that dot mean? Did you have a hard time coming up with something to introduce the piece? I know I never know what to write.
All truths, not merely ideas, but truthful faces, truthful pictures or songs, are highly beautiful.

Yes, thank you to all three of you for listening and commenting.  I did find a difficult time wanting to comment in my original post.  Any possible words just felt stupid  :-.

What starts as an oscillating figure develops through many other seamlessly woven patterns providing the bed and support for the lines which sets the actual emotional framework. When ready this itself will abandon the motion of the accompanying opening figurations, which so nobly and adequately have completed their task, and take over into its own organic and beautiful story. Or is it a story? Such isolated events can mark the background for one isolated even on which is the whole of triste. Whatever it is, it is perfectly framed in two halves, and altogether seems straight from the heart, candid, intimate. Uniquely one note from you always sounds like you. One note reveals as much as a piano can, something of the heart behind the one who depressed the key sending the hammer into the strings. This is a mystery of mysteries.
Don't let anyone know where you tie your goat.

SHUT UP!  >:(

Just joking.  *waves hands up like a conductor in a creascendo ... with crazy eyes and earnest look upon my brow*

Thanks for listening!
