Written during Thad's later years in Denmark after he and Mel Lewis parted ways, this bright, double-time tune designates piano as the main soloist, but includes an optional repeat of the solo chorus for trumpet and/or soprano (or alto) sax. A rubato intro and ending, both featuring solo piano, give the chart a strong sense of form and symmetry. Duration 4:00.

This song is a poignant tribute to Barry's teacher, Stockhausen. It was written for the 2008 Aldeburgh Festival programme book and is a setting of an enigmatic letter about friendship, written by Beethoven in 1821. The song may also be performed as a solo piano piece.
