In my mind, this sounds like water, dripping inside a quiet cave and flowing slowly.
The small fluxes are join to form a large and turbulent torrent.
After that, loses energy until form a placid lake inside the erth.
Wonderful.

First heard this en route to the Bluff Trail along the Pacific coast near Los Osos, CA. Due to some construction on the road, we had to stop, as it happened, in the midst of a eucalyptus forest. As the morning sun streaked through the forest, I noticed a profusion of monarch butterflies flitting among the trees. Glass's piece made it truly magical, a moment of sheer delight.

Best moment of the day … listening to this piece - good vibes! 🧡

This feels like walking on a field of tall grass while the wind hit my face in a gentle but violent way, love it. Thank you so much!!

This is my favourite tempo for this piece. Don't like all the quick tempo versions. There is a waking up on a cool morning feel to the piece that just makes its own sense of things. Has the essence of what Glass does better than anybody else... finding the pith of things and exploring a feeling with a key progression. Lovely performance. You should set up a couple of nice mics over the harp of the piano and have an engineer get the beefy bottom of the piano [you get to feel it while playing but it would be great to have it wash out of the speakers the way you feel it while playing] :-) Well done.

Great performance. The only thing I didn't like was the ONE TIME it went to a picture of the birds flying. I really enjoyed watching your hands.

Even though it might be a little bit "repetitive" I find it quite relaxing and I kind of dig the minimalistic approach that Philip Glass offers us in his music. Great performance btw

[yjko]

Absolutely mesmerizing performance. I like your tempo.
Your playing motivates me. I have my sheet music ready. I'll give it a go. Thanks! 🎉

this song makes me think of my love, Rhiannon. I love you.

[EdwardDavian]

This one is for you my love. I will always love you and miss you deeply.

Here thanks to a Gustav Klimt sound and light show in Paris. Thanks for this beautiful interpretation ! Somehow it reminds me of Inside Out's original soundtrack.

[lilly]

I love this, it’s so soothing and relaxing, the tempo its at is amazing 🤍🤍

[swmichguy]

I wept the first time I heard this and have listened to it many times since.

[victoriaozuna]

Heard this on NPR tonight, and I almost stopped focusing on the road, because it truly transported out of this world for a moment. So mesmerizing!!! :D

[Evyvieve]

This piece reminds me of the movies "her" and "all the bright places" for some reason this piece makes me feel a bit lonely, I just imagine myself in a island lost just the sun hitting my face, where I am peaceful and happy, this piece is truly beautiful

[hectorenriquevazquez]

Very nice interpretation! I love the added touch with the flock of birds clips.

[lalarose]

I am working on the Philip glass etudes now. They always calm me down.

[archibald-ycle]

Beautifully performed. This haunted piece gives me an impression of Bach's C-dur prelude from through the looking glass

[Steve_K]

Heard this last night on our classical radio station. Recognized the theme from one of my favorite Glass albums, "Aguas da Amazonia, " with the group Uakti. Worth looking for.

[kellypaws]

Perhaps the most beautiful piece of music I have ever heard, even if neither Bach not Schubert wrote it.
