An 11-year-old played this so beautifully, outside in her backyard where a forest begins & the birds sing in the background, that I fell in love with it immediately & had to have it. My music library just can’t have enough of Brook Boddie’s pieces. Highly recommended.

This is a wonderful piece to play in almost any setting. It is a marvelous piece with which to improvise, and take Brook’s piece to many other places. I’ve collected, studied and played almost all of his compositions – they’re accessible and very satisfying.
