Françoise's favorites

This tune started as an improvisation (which I recorded in one pass), but later I felt it could do with various string instruments & the result is what you now hear. Turn off the lights, close your eyes & enjoy!

Regrets

This melody is like a my diary.
I thought that I'd like to compose modern style Nocturne.
Enjoy this Nocturne
