"Good Job , I would classify this as soundtrack and would love to hear it in a fantasy game where I explore elven lands and see elves walking in forests . It was mysterious and calming. Good luck"

"Thanks Dane, I created another version with the Timpani and I also slightly lowered the volume on the piano and harp, they play in unison. I still do not know which is the better version with the timpani or not... Saul Gefen · Elves…"

"Yes, I do remember. It started so quietly I thought it could have been interference but on the second stroke it was clearly intended. I was perfectly happy with it almost as if it marked passages of time in the long trek through the…"

"Very interesting music hints of Rachmaninov and Debussy yet retains an original sound and style."

"Thank you Myron!"

"Very nice. Your piano playing is perfect on this piece, which lives up to its name. Thank you for sharing this. "

"Wow Dane, Thank you for your wonderful and thoughtful comments! I don't know if you remember but in the first version I had a percussion like a deep Timpani sound. This latest version does not include it, where do you stand about…"

"Good day, Saul, I followed through from the first version you posted and while this is different, the mood is still the same. I also spotted your earlier note on this particular post. Another example of your mastery - and long enough this time to…"

"Thank you Joost! I had the melody main theme in mind for quite some time, maybe more then a year. I got the melody while improvising on the piano and decided to develop it even further, I finally got to do it recently, and thus you have the…"

"Thank you Gerd for your very kind words. Glad you enjoy this music. I'm still working on the score.  Regards"

"Wow Saul! It's a very beautiful piece! I don't want to be reminded of any other composer, this is a Saul Gefen. Did you have anything particular in mind while writing this? Thanks for posting...."

"Dear Saul, what a moving piano piece!! I love it from beginning to end!!! I could listen to it over and over. . .indeed a Chopin flavor in the piece...can you present the notes? Thank you!!! Gerd"

"Thank You Liz. I personally like the beginning theme the most , it is a different feeling when you're playing it.  I'm surprised about the Chopin similarity of style. But I take that as a compliment, much appreciated."

"Hi, Thank you for your comments, I think you are correct to say that it has an Eastern European feel because I was born in Eastern Europe, Maybe it had something to do with that. Best, Saul"
