I have written this melodic work for my daughter Paulien. It sounds joyful, expressive and light ? as a reflection of her character. The composition begins lyrical and dreamy. A soft and sensitive opening fragment leads to a grand, uplifting passage, after which the music goes through a change of atmosphere in the B movement: here the melody and accompaniment sound light, happy and dance-like. A development toward a radiant climax follows, in which the opening theme reappears and various elements from the work return to eventually conclude in the dreamy atmosphere of the beginning. - Bert Appermont
