There is a wonderful musical aroma that builds as the song develops, like coffee brewing and waiting for the first sip.  It is also a fine example of your command of counterpoint; all the instrumental flavors with no clashing.  I really like the little acoustic accents--very nice:)

Lovely track, Michele! I will listen to it again in the morning when I am enjoying some coffee. 😊

Listening to this again this morning...Beautiful way to start the day!

Grazie Michele ,very thoughful piece and beautiful sounds

Really lovely piece, I love the mood it creates!  I also like the instrumentation.

Wonderfully crafted piece, Michele. PSR 630 done it's job :) Beautiful atmo! Real coffee break!

So Nice Piano Track, It reminds me a little bit the sound of Joe Hisaishi, Well Done !

I've always quite liked the short version (https://soundcloud.com/michele-ansani/coffee-break), using it several times especially on FB to accompany a series of good-luck pictures when the new year arrived, and I was sorry that it only lasted 45 seconds. So I worked a bit on this update in these last weeks; to get the same sounds as the short track I also took out of the coffin the old Yamaha PSR 630 (born in 1997 but still in fair health), being especially interested in playing and hearing that awful piano sound again - but strings and woodwinds are no joke either!
With that set of chords it only took a few variations to have significant atmo changes that would justify a new piece; now that it is long enough, I commit it to the ether and oblivion.

Coffee Break (extended version) *

I am an university professor of history who enjoys playing (guitar and piano/keyboard) and composing: unpretentious, just for fun. As a consequence, the most of my recordings (made with KorgD8 / Audacity and also Reaper now) are handcrafted and largely imperfect. But nobody expects (nor has ever expected) me to produce music with absolute professionalism. Neither do I, although I would like to.
Thank you in any case for stopping here to listen to something; in the description area you can find often explanatory notes or lyrics translations.

Here I found a community of great musicians and songwriters and a lot of beautiful music to listen to; you can be sure that any liking, commenting or reposting by me is a consequence of careful listening to the tracks. Obviously, for this very reason, I am not interested in collecting free ‘likes’ without real listening. I will not answer any messages from possible promoters: the number of followers does not interest me in the slightest. 

Update (2024, September 9). Completed the "AI & (fake) songwriting project". Here: https://soundcloud.com/mick-hansan 

P.S.: A prayer, a humble request to those who publish songs: use the description area to make the lyrics available... This would make listening to them more complete and enjoyable!
