Commentary
This recording is actually of two pianos. My mother is playing the orchestral accompaniment while I am playing the piano part. This piece was made famous by the movie "Somewhere in Time" and continues to be a favorite among people. If you ever have the chance to see a performance of all 32 (I think that is the right number?) variations, I encourage you to do so. It is highly worth it and you'll be surprised at how different this particular variation is from the others.
