In the Air

The composition is lively, dynamic, the notes dance. It is not intended to tell a story, but rather to create a state of cheerfulness and lightness. With its mischievously playful motifs, "In the Air" expresses something consistently cheerful, light-hearted and positive. The piece is like a light breeze, like a breath of fresh air.
