I had a dream of Beethoven. This is what he told me.

Description

As the title suggests, I had a dream about having met Beethoven, but only for a few moments. Then my work alarm woke me up. I don't remember much of what happened, but this idea of having strings play like gossamer while a piano in the distance plays Beethoven's Bagatelle op. 33 didn't leave my thoughts much at work so I knew I had to compose something out of it. Or at least compose that sound. Everything else was the result of trying to expressing what Beethoven told me in that dream.

Not really sure if the notation for string harmonics is correct, or whether strings can even play the written harmonics. Oh well.
