Here is an original theme and variations that I wrote on a theme from the game "Super Mario RPG".
Instead of recording it myself, I produced it with Musescore (link for the file below for those interested). It was a fun process inputting the different inputs for each note, made a lot more aware on how to produce different dynamic landscapes on the piano. For example, to achieve a piano dynamic you still have the strong beats around the mezzo forte range, but the notes in between is what creats the piano dynamic feel.

That's great to hear. I find composing theme and variations is a great way to get the creative process going, limitations do breed creativity.
