The most tender and empathetic interpretation I have ever heard. Congratulations! I have known these sonatas for 43 years and I have often played them myself with joy. 😉 Thank you both so much for sharing.

دموعي زرقاء من كثرة ما نظرت للسماء وبكيت

Once upon a time a Swan was born, he was the most beautiful Swan ever seen, his feathers were as white as snow, he had the most beautiful long neck ever remembered, his wings were long and strong and his flight the most graceful and balanced. He thought his life was happy, but with time he realized he was not and then he started his quest. He flew from north to south, from east to west trying to find what will fulfill him with not luck. He met the Queen of the Wind, The Spring, The Summer, The Autumn, he Conquered the Blue Sky, he saw the Forest's Awakening, he started to become Amazed By Beauty and discovered the Wonders of Life. He thought he had looked all over with no luck and when he was about to give up, he saw a small bright coming from the horizon. He directed his flight to that point and when he reached that place he found a Lake, so peaceful, so quiet and beautiful that he thought it was a dream. The Swan stayed admiring The Lake for hours, days, weeks... He swam and swam feeling its water run across his feathers. Suddenly the wind changed its direction and the leaves of the trees started to sing a different melody, it was a sad song with a feeling of loneliness. The Winter arrived with its bitterness and cold. The Lake started to freeze and the Swan knew he needed to leave if he wanted to survive, The Winter said with a deep and sad voice to the Swan.. " It is time for you to go, this is no place for you right now..." The Swan didn't answer to The Winter's words.. The next day it was even colder and the Lake was almost frozen, The Winter said to the Swan.. "Leave! If you stay, you will die!" The Swan opened his eyes looked at the gray sky closed his eyes again… That night The Winter created a snow storm and stopped until sunrise. That morning The Winter saw that The Lake was completely frozen, its water became ice as hard as stone, but he also saw the white Swan near him. The Swan was quiet, he could not move any more, he was very weak. The Winter told the Swan.. "Why you didn't leave? I told you you would die if you stay! Now you are dying and with no reason." The Swan said to The Winter "All my life I was in a quest to find something I was missing, something that would make me feel alive and in this place after many years I found it." The Winter asked The Swan what did he find in this place and the Swan said "A friend… The Lake is my friend and we had wonderful moments together. This was my last Autumn and I am very thankful that even in The Twilight of my life I was able to know what love is. That is why I decided to stay, to be with my friend until the last moment of my life." The Winter felt a deep sadness inside him… a very different sadness from the ones he had experienced before. Suddenly he realized that all his life he never had a friend and the Swan showed him how beautiful love can be. The Swan asked The Winter to come closer and the Winter asked the Swan what did he need. The Swan said "If I Could Make a Wish… it would be that you and The Lake could be friends forever. Can you grant me that wish? Can you take care of him and visit every year? Would you like to do that for me?" The Winter kept quiet for a moment, even the leaves stopped singing that song filled with loneliness… suddenly all was still. Then a new wind came.. It was still cold but with a different sound. The leaves started to move in a different direction and started to sing, this time with joy. The Winter promised the Swan he would come every year to visit his new friend and begin to create wonderful moments together. The Swan gave The Winter a smile and closed his eyes forever. The Winter kept his promise and he comes back every year to visit his friend The Lake. Each year they remember The Swan and his tale about his quest where he Conquered the Blue Sky, met the Queen of The Wind, discovered the Wonders of Life and found the most valuable treasures of all, he found love.

From The Hand Editions, a curator on Spotify: Hi Brian, thanks for the submission! I listened to your track and found it very interesting. I particularly liked this very delicate and lulling progression. The duet of the two guitars (beautiful the position so stereophonic!) conveys strong emotions. This is also thanks to a very airy and catchy theme where I also very much appreciated its melodic evolution. Excellent! On 29 February, I will include it in my playlist dedicated to peaceful music! A warm greeting!
Ciao Brian, I listened to your song, the song is very nice and sweet and the simple arrangement highlights the melody. Thanks bye

Feeling lost;
Hopeless;
And running in circles.
Such is the custom of life.
But;
One day we will reach.
To what we deserve.

Born in Virginia, raised in Maryland; survivor of an alcoholic  family; graduated High School and Union Carpenters Apprenticeship; a student of Algebra, a student of Life, a  brown belt Samurai Chess Player; gave up clarinet in 2nd grade because he was too young to understand;  gave up French class 5 years later because he could not speak the language; turned down Ms. Maria Blautzig for the Sadie Hawkins Dance because she had turned  down his request earlier in the school year; walked out of typing class on day one, hell HOUR one, because he could not handle the stress of it;  walked out of Oklahoma State University because he really needed help at that point and did not know how to ask for it, so ‘tear it all down and blow it up’ seemed to be the only way to find any; experienced the deepest loneliness of his entire life to date out on that highway, with no direction anywhere.  He has worked as a ditch digger, a grass cutter, a TV Guide door to door salesman; he has been a farm worker, carpenters’ helper, apprentice, a Journeyman carpenter in Local 132, a Home Improvement contractor and a Facilities Maintenance Engineer.  He has passed up more opportunities than cars on a freight train; he has hitchhiked, hobo’ed and walked across tens of thousands of miles of America's roadways, and a few in Canada, for good measure.

By virtue of  a chance encounter one snowy January night in 1993, when he met and eventually married the revolutionary communist, aspiring novelist, multi instrumentalist soprano and as yet unheralded expert at fitting leftovers into the refrigerator, the  beguiling, and sumptuous Ms. Juliana; this union subsequently created the talented, smart, bubbly, and eye-catching Ms. Sophia, she of the musical pipes.
Mr Higgins first picked up the guitar at age 23, the harmonica at 57, and wrote his first book at age 5, or 6. It shall remain forever unpublished, as the only handwritten master of it is lost to the dustbin of history.
