This lyrical and expressive selection presents a soulful melody balanced by a gentle, guitar-like accompaniment. Essentially a song without words, this piece encourages the pianist to express the range of emotions that we associate with reflecting on memories and looking to the future: nostalgia, gratitude, fear, and hope. The player is encouraged to practice slowly with special awareness given to tone quality, legato, and phrasing so as to maximize the expressive possibilities of this piece.
