I think as a musician, I can relate to this emotionally. I'm not the best pianist in the world, but there's this sense of complete wonder that takes over my body when I sit in front of one. I feel that you've managed to capture that sense of wonder and creativity here. I really love the symbolism too -- even the brightest of chords sometimes require the sharps and flats, so the mixing of the two is almost integral to creating a piece of music that moves millions. It's an incredibly powerful metaphor for life too -- you can't get the good without the bad and vice versa. I'm also a sucker for repeated lines to bring things full-circle and I feel like the repetition of 'fingers glide effortlessly along ivory keys' really ties everything together. I really enjoyed this -- lovely job!
