Thank you Kevin, I’m honored to be compared to Tchaikovsky, must be my classical training surfacing in my own music. It’s real easy for me to do variations on the theme, was just not my intention in this piece. But I can see what you’re talking about, in the second part it would have made the music much more interesting. Thank you for bringing that to my attention. And don’t get me wrong, I certainly do not think of myself as in the same league as a master like Tchaikovsky, I can only dream about it 
Also a big thank you to Firestamper and Ferencz for your kind comments. I appreciate it. Michael.
