More 12/8

The 12/8 groove in yesterday's sketch has got me thinking about an older piece of mine, the second movement of 'Bridge River Valley':

It occured to me that perhaps the two ideas might be part of the same piece, but now I listen to it my thinking is that actually what I should do is extend the rondo ABA form of BRV into something like ABACA to make it into a more substantial piece.

That would be a biggish job, though, the original notation for BRV was in Finale and very fiddly, so some considerable effort would be needed to redo it in MuseScore before even getting to writing a C section.

Also… how did I compose this?!? I feel like at one point I could almost play some of it, but a long time since I put my hands on a piano with that kind of vigour!
