This is pretty much the first complete piece I composed for piano.
I was in third grade, and an image of a little girl chasing butterflies on a bright green valley flitted across my mind.
And somehow, this song started coming out as I played.
I had always written little children piano songs since I was younger. Since I couldn't notate, my piano teacher would notate them for me as I played them out.
But those pieces were little blurbs compared to this one.
Butterfly always makes me feel young again. I guess its because my little kid sentiments resurface when I remember what it was like to compose this piece.
Although I ended up not choosing composition as a career path, this song always brings me back to the hope I had in the future of composition.
It also reminds me that I need to start practicing again.
