My notes
Listen to the complete album, recorded on the Steinway & Sons label
This little sweet piece is so far the most popular of all my arrangements. I wrote it during one night, thinking about what unique and interesting could I include into the program for my recital in Italy.
Turned out that no even one Italian recognized the melody. That's fine. I am very thankful to this arrangement, it was fun to work on it, and the popularity of the piece has been givind me an opportunity to get a lot of concert engagements all over the world since it was released. Thank you Italy, thank you Mr. Rachmaninoff, thank you YouTube.
