Thank you!
It is moderately difficult... not ridiculous but it does require some chops and a certain level of proficiency especially when it is the final piece to play on your recital program.... it is about 25 minutes in length, 4 movements plus a cadenza.

Gorgeous. I just love seeing them fly. Such great exercise doing what they're made to do! Do you ever get scared?

Thank you, you're so right.
The physiological as well as the psychological/emotional/mental enrichment they get from flight is truly unmatched by anything those.

I never really get scared as I trust the training and their skill/strength they have learned and then gained through experiences...I guess I just show them concern and happiness so they know to have a safe yet wonderfully fun time flying with me as there are lots of large birds of prey, high winds, altitude/drastic changes in topography, plus a multitude of environmental dangers as well as navigational challenges.
That's what brings them strength and joy though so we just keep training so we can keep flying.
