Nice piano piece! reminds me of Windham Hill songs.

Very pretty piece. I love when this transitions into minor chords. From the time I listened to the first line, my first thought was that I hope this stays a piano piece and doesn't get too flashy, and that's exactly what happened. It works very well this way. Great work.

I liked this piano composition. The chord progression creates a longing emotion. This is nice music to relax and unwind after a busy day. Nice music to study or for the ambiance at a wine-tasting gathering.

Like this song, it´s nostalgic but optimistic. The chord progresión has been used a lot in instrumental piano songs. Performance is good with passion , has a memorable melody and good finale. I enjoy this one. Congrats

The song has a great calming presence to it . . . almost a song of hope. To me it seems to have a religious aspect to it and I could easily hear it in a worship setting of some kind. Any song that leaves me with a good feeling is always a plus and this one certainly does. Nice job!

Nice intro, I love the way the piano player plays! Reminds me of the great Bruce Hornsby (hopefully a complement). Beautiful chord progressions keeps it interesting. Loving the live piano recording (or great sounding midi recording!).

Generally relaxing New Age piano piece. Nice varied piano tone, mellow in the quieter spots. Good dynamics in the piano performance, and a nice steady tempo is maintained. Interesting that a slight jazz influence is heard sometimes in the bass and chords used. Piano has been recorded quite well.

This piece seems to depict someone working on some type of craft, a gift for a loved one.
