Beethoven Op.110 for piano

A sun shower graces a grassy hillside. As the drops fall onto the ground the grass the flowers a calm mist fills the air. One drop tumbles down a petal sliding sliding along the yellow slide. It reaches the center of the flower and rolls onto the fluffy pollen wiggling and wobbling as the flower bend in the breeze. As the rain fades and comes to a stop, the single drop rolls off the flowers middle and tumbles down the stalk, coming to a leaf half way down. It rolls and wobbles up an down the soft green leaf until it reaches the end and gazes off the precipice. As it leans off the edge it begins to slip down bit by bit and falls slenderly onto the dampened ground. The hill is steep so our little rain drop slowly begins to roll down and down, curving through the stalks of flowers and blades of grass threatening to splice it into two. Down and Down it rolls through the green over the moistened earth and around the mounds of dirt and plants. A glimpse of sun reflects off what lays ahead and as the little rain drop rolls through the thinning hillside it sees the clear pool of water made by its cousins. The lake grows larger and larger as the millions of little rain drops tumble in. Our little rain drop is picking up speed rolling rolling down the hillside and as it reaches the bank it launches off the shallow mound of earth, sailing through the air and enjoying the rays of sun dancing on the surface of the pool, before plunging into the lake to join the rest of the rain.
