It was through this piece that I first met John Duarte. He had sent it to Ida Presti for her to put in the fingerings for publication. Then she asked him to send me a copy to play. Since she died before being able to finger the piece, I ended up doing that job, and then meeting Duarte in London shortly thereafter. I still think it is one of his very best pieces, and am happy if my early recording of it helped make it a bit better known.
