This beautiful ballad, arranged for viola solo with piano accompaniment, is a fine example of Duke Ellington's use of lush harmonies with upper extensions.  In this arrangement, the bridge is re-harmonized using the relative minors of the original chords.  The difficulty rating of Advanced Intermediate pertains to the necessary sensitivity in musical interpretation.  Please note that the recording is of the soprano sax version of this arrangement.  Play along with the accompaniment at the link provided!
