Once upon many a time, I was enjoying dinner with Martin in a Chinese restaurant in London, and the conversation turned to Music for My Love. An idea emerged to include a short, light and lively piece in the project, specifically dedicated to Alex, Yodit’s and Martin’s young son. I remembered a piece I had written as a youngster but had never finished, and so, for Alex, I completed the arrangement, recorded a demo with a friendly violinist, sent it to Martin and, with a helping hand and a sprinkle of magic from amanuensis Paul Mann, Alex’s Waltz emerged to pay tribute to a family that is held together through Music for My Love.
