I wrote this piece for Arthur Kaynor, the eleven-year-old son of my dear friends Cammy and Carrie who live in Boston. He was having hand surgery and I promised him I'd write him some music to work on during his recovery.
He loved the piece and debuted it in a recital in the summer of 2001.
Around that time he left me a phone message of him playing it, which I still have.
This recording is for you, Arthur.
