I find this sort of music, like 'Fragile Balance' to be utilitarian in my life, as my day-job is in accounting, and I enjoy grooving along to wallpaper music of various kinds, usually in the electronic/ambient variety. This piece unfolds very slowly in a pleasant, rather innocuous way. Since it places itself in the classical tradition, it's hard to gauge the quality of it, it is so diffuse, so for me it falls into a somewhat different category than "classical" it's more of an environment than a piece.

Have to turn off Benjamin Grosvenor's Ravel's <i>Le Tombeau de Couperin</i> first, though.Marc in Eugenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04331547981498637474noreply@blogger.com
