“Floating” imagines weightless travel through the air. Pianistically, it requires very strenuous left-hand-over-right-hand crossing and intricate pedal work. The goal is to make these difficult movements while having the music feel effortless and effervescent.

Midway through, there’s a moment that I imagine is the character looking down, Wile E. Coyote-style and realizing they should be fearful. But this dissipates into ecstatic freedom again.

Enjoy!
