This suite is based on the fairy tale The Bronze Pig by Hans Christian Andersen.This is a story about a boy who wants to be a painter and a pig made of bronze. This pig, in Florence town square, is a bronze statue with clear water pouring from its mouth. Legend has it that when an innocent child sits on its back, that the pig can run. In three movements; Flying Dreams in a Starlight Sky, La Via Porta Rossa and Twilight on the Arno River this work is a highly descriptive storytelling piece that will be equally enjoyed by young and old alike.

Kumiko Tanaka entführt uns in ihrer Suite für Blasorchester in die Märchenwelt von Hans Christian Andersen. Il Cinghiale di Bronzo (Das Bronzeschwein) handelt von einem armen Jungen, der nachts auf einem lebendig gewordenen, Wasser speienden Bronzeschwein durch die Gassen von Florenz reitet. Das Bronzeschwein, das Andersen zu seinem Märchen inspirierte, kann man heute noch besichtigen. Die Inspiration, die Kumiko Tanaka aus seiner Erzählung und der Atmosphäre der wunderschönen Stadt Florenz gewann, ist in ihrer Komposition deutlich zu spüren.
