No. 15 "Homage to Edith Piaf" in C minor, 3/4 time = 9/8 time

As indicated by the title, this piece is an homage to Edith Piaf. It is a lyrical piece with a swirling, bittersweet melody. The lowest voice creates a subtle duet with the melody, sometimes moving in contrary motion to it, and at other times supporting it with long-duration notes.

Writer: Saitoh, Noriko
