The idea of a late artistic style evokes something special, an autumnal wisdom or serenity born of hard-won emotional experience. In describing the genesis of his choices of three late masterworks for this album, Kwan Yi wrote that 'these pieces are dear to my heart and [ones] I studied extensively with my former teachers, Leon Fleisher and Bob McDonald. With the passing of Mr. Fleisher, I wanted to pay homage to my masters and took the time to record these selected works.'
