I don't think I have ever heard you using a piano + (solo instrument) before in your compositions. This was great.
I loved your use of rubato and tempo accel/rit. throughout. It really makes the piece come alive.
Also loved how you start with the violin arpeggios and then mimic them in the piano about halfway thru while the violin switches to the sustain part. Very effective. A really nice formed piece and structure and beautiful to listen to.
I doubt if anyone would be able to distinguish this piece from one of the compositions from a great master if it were played with a real violin.
Excellent,
Cass
