This album is dedicated to the perhaps-not-so-fictional Amelia, a 19th century composer, contemporary of Chopin and Liszt. Read her letter, here, and listen to her nocturne below on Track 21. (And see chriswind.net for info re both a performance piece and an audioplay based on the script and using the music.)
“for Amelia seems like a labor of love and searching within her classical roots through a varied collection of patiently constructed pieces for solo piano, duets with flute and vocal pieces which Wind composed during a fifteen-year stretch (1975-1990).” Bryan Baker, gajoob
