    Very light and pleasant — with shades of Mozart, even. :-)

    This is an interesting and enjoyable piece. (In one or two spots, I thought I noticed a harmonic glitch, but nothing that might not have been intentional and things happen so fast that it does not spoil anything.) There is a variety and development, and the work is well executed. Though my own tastes run to a romantic and harmonically colorful style, I see the place of such an approach as this.
