This is very well executed in both form and content. Kudos!

Thanks, cyborlite!

solid animation - i believed the aged film appearance and I liked the use of selective exposures (nice darks). I'd recommend distorting the audio a little more - like its being played on a dusty phonograph.

Thanks for the complement and the suggestion, SteelmanRain! Since I was going with a silent film feel, I wanted the audio to more evocative of a live piano player than recorded media, but I think it might have worked just as well to put in pops and a bit of phonograph hiss. I'm (slowly) working on a re-make of this piece and I'll keep that suggestion in mind when it comes time to lay down the audio.

Your welcome. It amazes me what YouTube features and what it doesn't. Today alone I have seen at least a half dozen works — including yours — that truly deserve to be featured. All much more entertaining, artistic and intellectually satisfying. There should be a way for people to nominate individual works for YouTube to feature. Sadly, there's not.

Nice idea, cleverly put together.
