This piece has always been a favorite of mine, but lately I have to say it does remind me of her. I'm the same anon from the beginning talking about Yukari, by the way.

The beginning is like a lullaby, cooing a sleepy Yukari to allow for her soothing dreams to surface. She's been asleep for so long, as a youkai is wont to do. It allows her to reflect on what she's done, feel sorrow and joy, regret and contentedness. At the end she's waking up, and the polonaise begins her night with a flourish of horns.

Time to get things done, dance around the inhabitants of Gensokyo to see what they're up to and if they need any teaching. The fingers glide across the keys in a dazzling display of musicianship, looking effortless to all in the audience, just as all her actions are so well prepared yet seamlessly take place. The orchestra acts as a cushion on which she rides, almost like the backdrop of a gap. And the strong ending chords are her resilience to the task at hand.

Sorry if that was a little long. I've been meaning to ask too; is it wrong that I like how powerful she is? It seems like kind of a shallow thing, but I'm not sure.
