And that has made all the difference."

Hi davajonah :)
Strings--especially cellos--always seem to 'ground' a piece for me. I'm glad you liked the addition, too.

Hi Cat. First time I have had a chance to listen to one of your posts. Glad I finally have! Beautiful, serene piano piece that is lifted by the subtle cello floating in the background. Very enjoyable listen. Thanks for the download. Warm regards, Peter.

BIttersweet.
Overcast, melancholy and delicately beautiful, if fleetingly so.
Check out my latest song called Svartalfpolska
Mystified said 817 days ago (February 28th, 2011)
Funny thing...
...that "Bittersweet" was a working title of this song. Melancholy seems a common thread in many of my improvisations, but I've always been drawn to minor keys, too.
Thank you for listening, and for taking the time to leave a comment :)

I'm very much looking forward to hearing/seeing how this evolves and, with the few changes you've made already, I love the direction it's going!
Thank you, B!! :)

A cat

Thanks Cat
You may be most famous for your beautiful and versatile voice but I really like your piano pieces as well, and this is no exception. Very gently played, which I like, and a serene composition perfect for winding down on a Saturday evening. Thanks especially for the download...

The sad little theme...
is very compelling, drawing the listener into your mood and your thoughtful considerations of direction both musically and metaphorically. This kind of peace can get out of hand really easily, but you hold the reins ...That resolve at 2:16 or so is just beautiful. What a lovely thing to hear this evening. Thank you.
(Bring the cello up a little in the mix. It is a little TOO subtle.)

As if in a dream
A hint of melancholy mixed with hope; gently reflective and peaceful. Your fingers on the keyboard have the same haunting sensitivity as your voice in your vocals. The cellos are a magical touch. I'd love to hear a little more volume there - just a bit in places here and there where the piano plays the loudest.

Marvelous! An early morning treat for my ears.

Thanks,
Doug

Your music reminds me that a fine melody and simple performance is all that is required. You have a gift for it.
