I had not heard it before.

So tranquil and lyrical...

Thank you.

You're welcome! I'm glad you liked it. It is, as you said, tranquil and (mostly) lyrical, but it is also melancholy, and therefore fits perfectly the tragic story in the last season of "The Killing".

Thanks for the rec!

Following is another interpretation of the same piece. This is a "live" performance, and you can skip the first 35 seconds of the clip without missing any music. You may also want to cut off the applause at the end, which wastes another 30 seconds.

There's also a YouTube clip of Wladyslaw Szpilman (the hero of the movie "The Pianist&quot

himself performing this piece, but that clip can't be imported into DU.
