Another piano masterwork from you, Mike. Lovely.
The influence of Chopin on your work continues, yet with each piece of yours I hear there is more of your individual voice coming to the fore, and your harmonic language is becoming increasingly adventurous. I like the way you develop your straightforward thematic material throughout the piece, and I like the way you gradually unwind the subtle tension with the repeated phrases at the end - that section feels almost minimalist to me, in the best sense.
All this and beautifully performed as well. My compliments!
