Rainy beginning... that sets up good anticipation
The pace of the song is perfect after that rain...
Melody is immediately memorable.
Amazingly how melodic complexity blossoms from such simplicity. Great restraint. Magic....
Nice journey through modulations. interesting and thoughtful...
I enjoy the way the harmony turns around the melody at 2:28
I enjoy the modulation at 3:06... I think I would add something in the instrumentation. it's really nice... (see below)
I like that the piano moves up to the upper register toward the end. that's a nice touch.
This reminds me of the the writing in Les Miserables.
Strings and Piano are really all this piece needs.
Ok, this might be silly... what about having the rain come in at the end, and then the thunder clap at the very end before fade out? I think that could be a nice effect.
2:37 nice melodic development at this point.
strings still doubling at 3:22 or thereabouts... what would you do differently?
Plesant melody with a peaceful feel.
