I seem to have fallen off the wagon a little with the whole Piece of the Month thing (i.e. the year’s half over and this is my first audio posting.) However, I have nothing but the best intentions from here on out!
I expect this piece to continue evolving as I play it out a bit more. I’d like to fine tune the contrast between sections: Preto y Branco means black & white in Portugeese. This refers, I think, to the sharp contrast between the dramatic gestures of the opening section and the more melodic middle part.
Hope you enjoy!
