This beautiful character piece in D-flat Major was written in 1903 but is still an excellent example of 19th Century romanticism, with rolling right hand chordal accompaniment over a cello-like “expressivo” melody. The piece becomes fairly challenging in its later sections, with octave and cadenza work. Biographical and performance notes are included.
