Perfect!
I really like the way the music lifts, almost as if the small act of kindness has caused ripples in the pond which are getting bigger. What a lovely take on the prompt. An upbeat message, at least to my ears, which doesn't need words to be conveyed
Thank you 🎶
Another sweet melody, well-executed. Good skirmish!
Thank you Tom 🎶
I like the way you introduce a stronger rhythmic element after the quiet, more tentative start.
Thank you 🎶
I like the smallness of the recording, but not that it’s not expansive, it just takes the space that you give it and it sits elegant there. It seems to walk confidently into the “choruses” of the piece, and then proudly proclaims before sinking back into the comfort of the verse melodies. Great piano piece!
Thank you so much ✨️
Your piece is beautifully positive in its spirit. Totally tells the story of your title. A very nice main theme - and I love the 2nd part of your melody as well.
Thank you very much Jeff 🎶
A very charming tune. Appropriate to describe a small act of kindness. Good work.
Thank you very much John 🎶
aw this is so lovely!!!! :')))) i truly adore this piece. it's gorgeous through and through, such a perfect melody for the theme. great job again.
Thank you so much for your beautiful comment ❤️
Nadia, your small act of kindness is to send impressive music our way. This one is no exception. Keep them coming!
Thank you Paul for your big kind of kindness 🙏
The intro is so kind and peaceful. Your piano playing makes it seem like there are multiple voices in conversation. This sounds like fun and uplifting to play! Nice skirmish
Thank you so much ✨️
Has a warm and nostalgic feeling and it really conveys the idea behind the title. A real pleasure to listen to the theme develop through the piece while the emotion and power gradually ramp up. Reminds me a little of some of the early Tom Waits songs, which I love.
Thank you Roger. I'm not familiar Tom Waits songs but I'm sure they are lovely if you like them 🎵
Another of your delicious piano rambles. After the nostalgic opening there is an almost Hollywood sounding section that would be easy to put lyrics to.
Thank you very much Berni 🎶
Agree with markg below that nicely has small bits of melody. Very hopeful melody.
Thank you 🎶
Very sweet melody Nadia. I like the title too. You never disappoint!
Thank you very much Sherry 🎶
This composition a has "small" elements that expand into greater expressions, as your theme promises. Beautiful.
Thank you so much ✨️
So charming and fitting for the title. Gorgeous! x
