Beautiful
I love hearing pieces of music like this. Seriously, I get all my favorite music from newgrounds from authors such as yourself. You won't find to much mainstream music on my mp3, but you will find a ton of newgrounds files. Anyway, I'm a piano player myself so I love that about this piece. The wolf howl really adds to the mood of the music, it's amazing how much an effect such a small sound can have. For a rough draft, you did an amazing job. I'd love to hear the final piece, and I'm intrigued on the project as a whole, I may just buy the DVD. May I suggest making a trailer and uploading it here for your artist? Another very well animated movie did so and I think that probably greatly improved the sales, the trailer was great and made me want to buy the full length DVD. Anyway, I'm sure he's got that all in mind, but pass on the info if not :)
Great piece again, downloaded, thrown onto the mp3 and 5'd.
