Product Description
This is a composition about Autism, which affects a member of our
family, Joshua, who despite his condition has remarkable and wonderful
qualities, as do his immediate family who, its fair to say have been to
hell and back. I personally, sometimes have problems coping with the
best of people and can be most intolerant sometimes but my amazing wife
manages somehow to cope with me (most of the time). However, the sort of
problems and challenges families with autistic children face daily,
weekly, yearly is simply herioc and very underestimated. Anyway music is
the only thing I seem to be half decent at so I dedicate this piece to
Josh who I know one day will be perfect.
The piece begins and ends with a stride style novelty piano tune and
has sad and emotional themes and modulations throughout. There is a
brief minor melt down depicted in the music and interaction issues but
there is (has to be) a nice jolly happy ending which is the rag/stride
style.
