Tell us something about your track Quiet Musing on J.S. Bach!
I didn’t compose the original theme – it come from Bach’s J. S. Bach – Flute Sonata in E Flat Major, BWV 1031: II. Siciliano. It’s really about my youth and discovering love and beauty. This song just kept circulating in my heart and I just kept improvising on it. If music moves my emotionally then I want to improvise on it. Bach is usually serious and intellectually hard to work on. This piece allowed me more freedom in my emotional expression.” 

Thank you for this Rob!
