Featured on pianist William Howard's album Sixteen Contemporary Love Songs, this evocative miniature is simple but rewarding, with a repeating eight-bar chord progression that produces a kaleidoscopic quality. The clear harmonic language and gentle build towards the central section create a peaceful and meditative atmosphere, as though for solitary reflection.
