    This was a hard one. I spent a lot of time composing out variations, new ideas, key modulations, all scrapped to ultimately go back to the original improvisation.
    I wouldn't say it was all wasted time though - I learnt a lot by trying to compose it out. But I felt that the first improvisation recording of this idea captured everything I wanted the music to say already, no more, no less.

    Besides being a pretty little gem of sentimentality-invoking chords, I'm a big fan of the craftsmanship! For example, at 00:31 when the soprano breaks out and becomes more independent with it's own melody, you "announce" that special moment with a low Db in the bass, which is by far the lowest note we've heard so far, so it recaptures the listeners attention for the upcoming melody in the soprano

    Stunning! I have followed your videos lately, and am SO impressed. Some of these are perfect for us church pianists who need something brief for service interludes, and this is great repertoire for adult piano students who need something not too demanding technically, but satisfying musically. I, too, am a phan. I hope you find a publisher (as I have.)

    I downloaded this and played it for church last Sunday. I made a video and posted it on my channel. I have linked to your website. As a composer myself, I often click on videos such as this (mainly because their work is so mediocre) and I was bowled over. This is a piece that is beautiful to listen to, but a joy to teach as well. Balance between hands, expressive rubato to highlight the harmonic changes, not to mention that the notes are so easy to cover.
    I hope you are able to sign with a publisher. if I can do it at 55, you can!

      I should have clarified “videos such as this” = videos by young, unpublished, mostly student composers.

      And one more thing - before someone brings this up: you have more followers and more views than me. So Imagine what would happen if you were published? Even charging on your website. Let your fans speak with their wallets. I wish you luck. Your music deserves to be heard and played.

    A very tender, heartfelt little melody with fine use of suspensions! A brainchild of Chopin and Rachmaninov, perhaps?

      Ah, so then should nobody post their compositions because they are not Chopin? He was an absolutely brilliant composer, but no god. Listen to Chopin’s fugue in A minor. Just humans, sharing their love of art and it’s not always very easy putting it on display for the whole world.

      We all use words to communicate with each other. Does that mean that we all are stealing each-other's sentences or thoughts? In art and even otherwise, everything comes as an inspiration from the past. That is why we are sent to school to learn what has previously existed and had been created by others. By your definition, no work of art or music will ever come to life because, there is nothing authentic.
