Soft solo piano enters alone, each note hanging in open air.

Soft chords blossom underneath, warming the line.

Quiet strings join and hold a sustained wash beneath the piano.

String chords shift quietly under the continuing piano.

The string bed swells a little, thickening without breaking the hush.

A soft harmonic turn breathes through the strings while the piano keeps its pace.

Strings ease back, leaving the piano more exposed in the room.

Piano strikes grow softer, spaces opening between the notes.

Last resonance decays into near silence.
