Hey there budo,

Thanks so much. I didn't know of him either, but I heard this piece on the radio and liked it, so I thought I would learn it. He has quite a few "impressionistic" elements in there, and it has such a lovely, restful ending. Very glad you enjoyed it

Very enjoyable to listen to, thanks for sharing MD!  Thanks also for sharing the piano and preset, always interesting to hear different presets in action as I can spend a good deal of time trying to different pianos and presets.
