Very kind of you to say so! This was while I was locked down during the Covid outbreak - just me, my clavichords and my spinet!

This piece (I keep returning to) reminds me of a Squeeze track 'Now is that Love'. Not sure why, but they sound alike to my ear.

I guess you mean the syncopated falling theme - I can see this I think!
