At the time, I was writing jazz tunes with the aid of a kitchen timer, and this was completed in sketch form in about 20 minutes. I then fashioned a lead sheet and began playing the piece in concerts, usually as an encore. It received a Grammy nomination for Best Instrumental Composition in 2008. As I performed the piece, my interpretations became more consistent - even though there is a free improvisatory introduction and improvisation after the melody and before the recapitulation (both of them written out here in abbreviated form). I have had many requests from non-improvising pianists for a piano arrangement, so I created this arrangement in 2010.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis piece is to be played in a relaxed, leisurely manner with great affection and warmth.\"\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Edition Peters","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42655199035527,"sku":"EP68328","price":9.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0658\/8635\/5591\/files\/da24571667398b7069204a85f30678e9.jpg?v=1749676986","url":"https:\/\/www.editionpeterspublications.us\/ja\/products\/hersch-valentine-peters","provider":"Edition Peters Publications","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
