Rose Wilson - Reverie

  My review:

     Reverie by Rose Wilson is a piece in which the music aims to create a dreamlike atmosphere.
    To do this, the musical motifs that are played in the right hand are repeated at different octaves, with different variations, especially evident in the accompaniment played by the left hand and with different intensity.
    The sudden ending produces a curious sensation of awakening from the dream state in which we had sunk during the piece.
