I gave this to a teen today who loves dramatic game music, and his mother who loves classical and world music had the next lesson and said "I want a piece like that!"

I love to use this piece when a student is learning how to use the fermata. It is a beautiful piece, and the fermatas help them begin to really listen to what they are playing.

I had a student (who happens to be my oldest son) recently perform this piece for a hymn festival audition (as the solo piano requirement). The judges told him they loved it and wrote down the name of the piece so they could find it for their students! He loved playing it and he thought it was pretty cool the judges were so intrigued by it, too!

I personally think this a beautifully mysterious sounding piece. I used this with a student to begin discussion how to tell if a piece is Major or minor. It is a great starter piece for the more intermediate leveled Pronto styled solos.
