T:WALTZ IN PURPLE AND CLARET
R:Waltz
C:David MacAdam
N:The evening after giving a mid-winter fiddle concert at the Truro
N:Library, Dinah Mellin told me of the ethereal experience of playing
N:a waltz in a room filled with light "purple and claret" from the low,
N:late afternoon mid-winter sun. This unusual color combination evoked
N:in me this waltz, my opus 1. For me its writing was a sudden awakening
N:of almost religious intensity. I could actually write tunes. [2007.02.07]
