I'm usually so stingy with my sorta neo_classicism.
But I'll always love my MIDI, even I get no one to perform them :)

wow..I had no idea that you had so much talent! Each time I listened , I got a little more out of it each time. I really liked the theme beginning at approx. 5:00, where the left hand evolves from a supporting role into the dominent role-very nice. Not so crazy about the strumming of the strings, but that's maybe becuz I'm just an old tradition-bound fart. Anyhow, Bravo! Keep up the inspired work. Jim Houston.
By the way, a seemingly sensitive, committed performance by the pianist-Bravo again.

Thanks for uploading this - I enjoyed the piece and the performance. YouTube is a superb medium for contemporary music.
