This mushroom only fruits for a few hours, before it deliquesces, or dissolves into ink, then evaporates away into the air. I first encountered these on morning walks outside, where they would disappear by the time I walked past the sam...

Such is true for the Chinese character for rainbow. The left half of the Ch...

Oh this looks real fun and sounds pretty great. Prolly gonna try and start learning this.
I love this piece! Fantastic performance!
This is such a beautiful solo!! I'm a sophomore in hs and thinking about learning it
Spotify when?
WOW! YOU SHOULD WRITE A SOLO AROUND THIS MELODY!! I would instantly learn it
I’ve listen to a lot of your stuff, and damn. So underrated.

Cookin some fresh beats as always🔥🔥
This is exactly the type of music I end up improving and it makes me feel really inspired to look up to someone doing stuff like that

What’s the PML
Texas's 'prescribed music list' - it's the list of pieces that can be used for Solo & Ensemble competitions for high school players
Just coming back to comment that I just got this approved for my spring recital!
Nice, I'm excited for you! Let me know if there's a livestream or anything, I'd love to catch it
So excited for this piece to get the recognition it deserves :)
Very nice. I really like the music played by this performer B)
I really like a lot of the newer/modern pieces being written like this one that have a real sense of balance between melodic and harmonic ideas, and not just crazy hard technical passages. This reminds me a lot of some Adam Tan pieces that I really like as well. Awesome job!
This piece is so beautiful. It deserves more recognition
Some of it has some hints of fallen down (undertale song) in it. It sounds a little similar to it at the start. But in the end, I really loved this.
I thought the same!
very nice!
Yo this solo is hard asl. Once I get done with the one I’m on I’ll for sure buy this
Fire
Great dynamic range! love it
Love it! Very clear in terms of melody, rhythm, harmony, structure…but most of all it looks/sounds very enjoyable to play! Bravo! Thank you for adding these wonderful sounds into the world. Your fan, Mr C
Thank you so much! I miss theory class with you haha
yay

BRAVO!!!!!!!!!!
So pretty and flowly. Fire 🔥.
banger
Such a fun and playful duet! Definitely on my list for a recital :)

To say this piece is absolutely dazzling would be an understatement.
