The first is Cloud burst (no relations
)https://youtu.be/xraOuqWUdKQ
It's a mostly dark piano impression going from the very experimental beginning into a quiet jazzy harmony.
The second is Magda:

This is a song about a girl I met at a party and only talked to for a few minutes. I never met her again. I wrote this song to express my gratitudde for her quiet kindness and unreserved acceptance. This piece contains a small fugue in the middle. The other special feature is the arrangement with effects, inspired by - if not reaching the level of - Gleen Gould, when he got involved in mixing some of Sibelius piano works. Instead of adding instruments, I tried to emphasize moments and set sections apart from each other by rooms and effects.
The last song is Quaint and picturesque:

This, truly quaint and picturesque, piece is my interpretation of a very beautiful, sunny morning in Yorkshire, everyone still asleep, even the cat on the piano stool.
I hope you can find something to enjoy in this mixed bunch.
Best wishes, Jeanette
), but I did enjoy your compositions: playing keyboards and playing the piano is not the same thing, and you definitely demonstrated you can do both, great feeling! I liked "Quaint and picturesque" the most too, even though the first two pieces reminded me of Tchaikovski's "The Seasons" (the gorgeous "October" comes to mind).
