*NOTE PLEASE READ BEFORE LISTENING!

Piece that will be played for my exam, I decided to name it "Saltare Etude" as "saltare" is the Latin word for dance, and the theme I was supposed to draw on is "movement." Please take into consideration that this piece has to be played with heart and soul in order to have the full effect, so I'm hoping the quality isn't terrible so you can understand the emotion behind it.

The background story that I decided to use was based off of a young girl peering into a dance studio through a window, only wishing that she could dance as well as the other people. When everyone had left, the girl would dance by herself, only to realize later that she had been watched by the instructor. She then became an amazing performer, finally taking her dreams into her own hands.

As cliche and corny as this sounds I'm sticking to this, and I hope that when you visualize this you can relate the music to the scenario that was explained in the latter paragraph. Closing your eyes may help in order to understand the full feeling, but you don't have to of course.

The intro "poem" which will be used to sum up and generalize the depiction of the scene taking place is as follows:

The emotions that fill up the room overflow through the window,
The light invites dreams that were never realized,
Since you fly freely,
Soar high, and discover a place you were meant to be,
Dancing on the moon's stage in the night.


On a sidenote, you don't HAVE to read this first but I'd be very appreciative if you did since this will be graded and I'd like to know if the sound relates to the story. ANY (and I mean ANY) feedback will be amazing (and loved) since I would like to have this as polished as possible before the 18th. Thank you for listening! I hope you like it.
