I have always been enamored with Amadeus Mozart’s personality and decided to dedicate this piece to him. The book covers were from a set of books that were in disastrous condition so I thought they should be salvaged. What better way than to use them than to honor him by incorporating parts of a discarded piano that I “disassembled”.
