The First Time I Saw You
The First Time That I Saw You is the most complicated piece in this collection, by far. A very sentimental and sweet swing piece, where the polyphony takes a prime position while the left hand is accompanying with some lovely chords and even jumps. Not for the faint hearted, but extremely rewarding when pulled off correctly!
