heart (for piano)

when i was little, i loved playing video games. my favorite video game was called kingdom hearts, and I was obsessed with its story, its characters and its music. now, I haven't played kingdom hearts for several years, but its universe is still near and dear to me.

when i started writing this piece, i immediately recognized that something about the beginning reminded me of yoko shimomura's soundtrack for the kingdom hearts series. so I decided to name it heart in honour of one of my favorite childhood pastimes.
