Prélude à l'après-midi d'un faune.

I was actually introduced to this remarkable arrangement first before hearing the original orchestral work. I recall that my initial impression was that it was a very strange and elusive piece. After many repeated listenings I did warm up to it enough for it to become one of my favorite compositions. Last month, I learned this on a whim for a piano lesson with no less than the author of the arrangement himself, which I found to be quite an interesting experience.

I didn't notice the dust on the piano before I started recording :(
