Notes Waltz for Anna was composed on Christmas night 2008, the inspiration coming from my young daughter dancing around the tree and living room with her new doll Sally. Dynamic markings are provided on the page, but they are merely guidelines. The ensemble volume should always be dictated by the flute; a mezzo forte for a flute in the staff is obviously less than a mezzo forte high above the staff. While the dynamic range should vary throughout the piece, there should be no real surprises. The texture throughout is very light; instruments such as the suspended cymbal, timpani, and bass drum should never become heavy or cumbersome. There are no flats or sharps in the toy piano part. C-diatonic toy pianos are fairly easy to find in department stores and toy stores. This is a simple, delicate piece. It is also somewhat bittersweet, a reminder that a daughter doesn’t stay five years old forever.

– Stuart P. O’Neil
