The sound of water at the beginning of the video was actually recorded
in the gardens of the Villa d'Este in Tivoli near Rome :-)

Any feedback more than welcome.

Hi Daniel,

That brought back many memories. I lived in Rome for one year, 60 years
ago, and Villa D'Este at Tivoli was a favorite place for me to bring
young ladies for an afternoon. I was a poor student, and the entry cost
was trivial. That, plus an espresso and a biscotto each, made for many a
lovely afternoon. I never got tired of seeing and photographing the many
fountains, and their source, a small rapidly flowing stream.

Thank you.

Hi Morton,

Thank you for your reply. I love the gardens of the Villa D'Este and
studying and playing Liszt's composition last year was just wonderful.
It's simply magical. I'm actually travelling to Rome next week. If I
can find any young ladies, I'll bring them to the Villa D'Este as well,
though the entry costs have certainly risen in the last 60 years :-)

All the best for you.

Danke schön. One young lady lived on Attenkoferstrasse in München. I
will not give the exact address, of course.
However, after 60 years, she is no longer a young lady, I presume.

Thank you, and good luck.

Ah well, I'll have to find a young lass myself then :-)
