Written in memory of Greenaway's beloved piano teacher, Peggy Crosskey. When Peggy became ill Greenaway wrote this piece, which took 3 days and nights to compose. Despite writing as fast as she could, the piece was delievered to Peggy too late and she never got to hear it. Greenaway incorporated the sounds and styles of some of Peggy's favourite composers, particularly Beethoven and Schubert.
