Author's Response:
Just a piano?
Dude, in case you aren't aware, the piano is the second best instrument, dwarfing only in comparison to the orchestra. The piano is like an orchestra in a box, and if you use it well, a piano can communicate emotions just as strong as anything else. I didn't submit this to the competition because I thought a piano was the best choice, I only submitted it because I love the piano very deeply and it is one of the most beautiful and emotional sounds I know. To be honest, I see no reason "just a piano" is any worse than "just a bunch of synth pads".
