it strikes me, in contrast to your broader full works, you also love to explore small relations, pondering them, feeling them, then letting them go. Art Tatum (someone we both love) did an occasional piece (and brother, was it occasional!) where, instead of plunging and soaring all over the place, he just played chords and pondered them, as if he were rediscovering the beauty of sheer harmony itself. I wonder if you do this at the end of long days, sitting down with these chords and spending time with each group of 3 or 4, as if saying goodnight to your children one by one, then putting them to bed...lovely stuff, really.
