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 fee 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\u003cp\u003eFred Hersch\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eItem No:\u003c\/b\u003e    98-EP68328\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e    Sheet\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e    12\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeries:\u003c\/b\u003e    Edition Peters\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eYear Published:\u003c\/b\u003e    2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e","brand":"ALFRED","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67732212744383,"sku":"ALF EP68328","price":9.45,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1335\/9063\/files\/98-EP68328.jpg?v=1792729168","url":"https:\/\/www.imaginethismusic.com\/products\/alf-98-ep68328","provider":"Imagine This Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
