Hi Romain -

> I like very much "Dust"

Yeah - I was worried it's too repetitive, but I kept thinking... Beethoven did 
it. Also, I was thinking about Moonlight Sonata, but both of those pieces have 
more harmonic movement, so, I am really on my own making such decisions - the 
music has not been invented yet. I'm glad you liked it. I rushed the performance 
a bit, because it was a pub audience which usually needs a bit more noise to 
keep them happy - but I think with confidence anything is possible.

It's possible, but I think if the musician has these things in their mind, the 
audience will hear them anyway. This is the first gig I ever played something 
composed on the Stick, so, onwards... :)

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm..... ;)
