A sweet romantic piece in Eb major
for Piano and String Orchestra Adagio Sostenuto

I got accepted to an All-Steinway University in Mid December
which is when I started this piece
to me this song is in response to a pleasant pause from burdens
a nice suspension from stress and what not

First song of the new year
Thanks for listening

"Phenomenal, Professional"

The first thing that struck me about this piece was the impeccable sound quality. This amplified the perfect balance between the sections of the orchestra and the piano. What struck me next was the meticulous use of dynamics. Excellent flows of crescendos and decrescendos accentuated the passionate nature of the song.

Even so, perhaps the most impressive aspect of the composition was its ability to be interpreted in a number of ways. I believe you correctly classified it as, "a sweet romantic piece," but I also sensed a touch of sorrow and heroism in the theme. This bittersweet quality of the song enhanced its character and brilliance.

Fantastic work. Deserves nothing less than a 10.

"I really liked this song."

I liked this song, I love the emotion it has. like with the beginning, and when the main riff comes in its really sad but makes you feel good at the same time. and then later in the the song when it does the main riff its like the same feeling but even more. I downloaded this song and can't wait for the perfect moment to play this song cause its perfect.Also this song is good because it could be like really sad, or it could be like really happy in a way. like if im with the love of my life at a dinner or something and we hadn't seen each other for four years, this song would be perfect for that moment like a "patching things back together" song. : )
