"What a lovely spritely piece, Joost!
Just what I needed to get me woken up today along with my usual coffee! About the right length too. I think a few dancers would want to catch their breath as it finished. The harmony flows beautifully and you…"

"Ahh, thanks Gregorio...hmm....maybe I should give it another name since I didn't really set out to write a Gavotte. I was trying to come up with a name rather then uploading it as a number. Coming up with a proper name is more difficult then writing…"
