Dear Steve,
Today, my mom found an article on Pianist Magazine page about this piece “Fairytale” (while surfing with my name for the first time in a while lol) and I was so moved when I saw that someone composed a piece dedicated to me and won a composing competition. I wanted to contact you, so I searched your name, and found out you are the one who always comments on my videos!! Thank you so much for supporting me until now, and for listening to my piano. Finding this article really made my day, and I was moved by how posting a video on RUclips could connect me with people like you, who live far away.
If it’s ok with you, I would love to play this piece. Is it possible for you to send me a score? (I will tell you my email address.)
Thank you so much ❤ Mayuki

Many congratulations Steve for this long overdue recognition of your characterful and charming compositions. Through that unexpected harmonic sequence and the delightful melody, you have so evocatively captured the Fairytale vibe - I also loved how you set the scene by taking us ‘into the woods’ as Sondheim said 😉 many thanks for sharing this gem 👍🏻 Gareth
