I like that piece -- dreamy with a slight edge to it. It says to me, "Relax, but keep your eyes open."
Understand that I'm no musician. 3 childhood years of piano lessons did nothing for me except teach me the math and some technicalities of a written piece of music. I don't understand what composers are "doing" in their music. I've heard musicians discuss certain classical pieces, talking about how ingenious this composer was because of what he did in this section and how that composer was poking fun in that section. I never know what they are talking about. I can't "see" a story in a piece of music unless dancers and/or singers are showing and telling me what's going on. I only know how the piece makes me feel, or maybe more accurately, what feelings I already have that the piece brings up.
Becky, that’s so interesting! Thank you for sharing that. I’m sure lots of people have similar experiences with music. I’m glad you like this version of the piece. It’s my personal favorite so far. Probably going to stick with this direction for a bit.
