7 Jan 2008, #3b. Juliet, part II - 6m38s

I was almost embarrassed and disgusted with myself for playing something so cheesy as "Juliet, part I," so I wanted to continue and play something purposefully strident. I'm thrilled at what a tempestuous result I got, just from being actually angry and not holding back.

I could only keep up the pounding for so long, so I reined myself in and recalled the later tune from the first part, but reharmonized it sounds wonderfully pained and wistful.

(By the way, what I write here is usually not what I was thinking as I was playing. The ideas just come out of my fingers, and sometimes I don't even realize when I tie pieces together. They are wonderful subconscious accidents. Here at the blog I explain how those accidents must have happened.)
