From the resonant, contemplative piano introduction, I was literally dragged into this piece. The story is riveting, and the description allows us to really be in the scene. At times I felt like the little girl in the story, and could relate to her realization. I saw many people in the mother, and appreciated the short background we got about her from the storyteller. I loved it when the music changed and opened up into a whole different mood. I feel it suggests elevation or rising up, which was very fitting for the conclusion of the piece.
