This little waltz was not discovered until recently. The manuscript was passed from the dedicatee ('dedica: alla gentile Signora Giovanna Albano Sottomano per omaggio cordiale di Nino Rota Bari 12/7/1945') to her heirs and has remained in their possession ever since. This is why it has not been included in Rota's catalogue of works until now.Thus, it is all the more delightful that we can now publish this lively piano work for the first time and in doing so, add another piece to Rota's popular compositions for piano. |
