This piece allows the cellist some definite freedom. The flow and ebb of the piece worked well, but it did not seem to go anywhere in particular and a central melody line was hard to pick out, but was that the intent? 'Mirage' sounded almost like a daydream, hence the title, but even daydreams normally have a purpose of some kind. Also, some parts sounded as though the pace could be easily picked up to add a bit more excitement. Since I am a cellist, I enjoyed the musicality of the piece with its lush melodies and well-placed notes. Good job, but a central theme would be nice.
