This piece was inspired by the soul of Andre Torquati and by the beauty of roses swaying in the wind.
As Andre created the half of the first bar, Dr. Nina Soyfer was able to use their friendship to extract a full piano piece out of that seed idea. As the song was composed, Andre was present and making sure it resonated with him. In that way - it was commissioned by him, and he was observing as a composer in training.
Cette chanson a été inspirée par André Torquati. Après qu’il ait écrit la première mesure, Dr. Nina Soyfer a pu ensuite créer un morceau entier. Grâce à leur amitié et entente, elle a su capturer l'idée qui a guidé la création de cette pièce: des roses agitées par le vent. André a participé à la création en donnant son avis et en s’assurant que son idée soit bien représentée. Il a été présent lors de la composition en tant qu’apprenti compositeur.
