    Well here鈥檚 a go at a recording. One of the tricky things for me is the amount of repetition, so do you change things slightly, or do you not? Anyway, a work in progress.

  • Ah, love this piece. Not quite there yet, so I'll keep practicing.

    (The middle section is quite tricky.)

    • Jarkko Janhunen the sound you're creating is lovely - and the tender atmosphere, the melancholy mood of the piece is there already.
