Benshoof, Ken: Timeless (Piccolo, Piano)

Scattered throughout the piece are elements of George Gershwin's Embraceable You. They appear sometimes as fragments and at other times as harmonic progressions. The storyline structure of the piece is very simple, it is a romance with a little dancing in the middle. The first and last sections feel delicate, tender, suspended in time. Other areas are more sensual and lyrical. The composer recommends a freely expressive and rhapsodic style of performance.
