This little piece is a whole different cup of tea. I was happy to see that another slow sonata made it into the set, as most of the others picked are set at pretty quick tempi.

This is a plain and simple piece that moves from C to the relative minor (a) in the first half, then moves back to C before closing. I was going for something that opened sweetly and innocently, got momentarily sad, and ended on the same sort of sweet and innocent note on which it opened.

I'll admit a kindergartner could have written this piece, but, for whatever reason, it remains one of my mom's favorites among all the pieces I've written.

Enjoy!
