Hello, Q,
I join those who preceded me in congratulating you for a lovely and well

executed piece. Romantic? Definitely, and in more than period! I find

the piece very melancholic, but beautiful; much the same way I feel

about some Chopin.
But... well... I just don't dig this piano sound... Maybe it's the

sample, or the way you EQ'ed it, but it sounds stuffed with cotton to me

and just doesn't come alive, neither in my monitors nor in my

headphones. Also, I think a nice room reverb would have complimented

this piece beautifully.
Keep posting!
Cheers,

S.M.
