Hello @ferrum.wav , thank you for your kindly review of my piece. I’m pleased that you could follow the imagination and story I wanted to depict musically! Since there was still plenty of space on the score, I decided to follow the example of @Henry Ng Tsz Kiu 's “Joking Fugue on Jingle Bell …", which also includes such humorous comments ... Yes, that’s right. Even though this is a new composition for the competition, I just started to compose the piece for piano solo (to include it in my collection of preludes and fugues) and then „enriched“ the piece with the further instrumentation by the strings. Therefore, the main texture is performed by the piano(s) alone and the strings serve to create more „color“ or „soundscapes“. However, there is a theme or motif in the “Nightingale” B section, played by the strings (measures 35–37 by the cello and measures 44–47 by the violin), that does not appear in the prelude for solo piano.
