The piano part was actually recorded in 2005--this composition was my first as a student, and it is supposed to be under 2 minutes long. However, with me playing it for the first time, it took ~4 times the amount! I've been wanting to use it for a long time, and finally decided to record other parts around it (lack of quality be damned!) It was played on a quality baby grand piano, though, at a good family friends' house (thanks, Mantoans! You're on Volume 1, as well, 2nd-to-last, I believe)
