About this episode

Here is a short piece by Cesar Franck that I came across in one of my sheet music sets. I love the melody and the way that Franck uses hanging tones to harmonize.

This recording is dedicated to a young listener, Sayuri, from Brazil. I hope that she will enjoy listening to this recording!
