Once Upon a Summertime: Piano Cover

On a sunny summer day a melancholy song by Michel Legrand and Eddie Barclay. Practicing some ideas to add spice to the sheet music.
This song about a lost love is very atmospheric going from minor to major halfway through and though it ends on an F major chord in fact I prefer a minor chord to set up a repeat chorus and bittersweet ending.

A fine performance of this beautiful piece, bringing out its bittersweet melancholy flavour. Thanks Steve for sharing. Have a great weekend! Paul

Wonderful Steve ! It’s such a beautiful circular tune and you capture its beauty and haunting twists so elegantly. As we both know Michel Legrand was an absolute master of Melodic and harmonic invention. Great to hear it 😊Gareth

It was your wonderful extended version that reminded me of this and I decided to re-learn it. I had this idea to feature the waltz rhythm but got carried away a bit with the tempo I think!
