I have very fond childhood memories associated with this piece. Virtually anyone learning piano in 90s New Zealand was aware of it, and aspired to play it. And just like Für Elise (of course), it is in fact much harder to play well than it would seem, as us aspiring young pianists would inevitably discover. Those were the days! I am very much enjoying reliving some of the music that defined our moment, and sharing it with you. I hope you enjoy 😊.

The pop orchestra backing track was hand-crafted in my bedroom studio. No AI tools were used in any aspect of this production.
