In my opinion, the season of summer evokes images of nostalgia and the sparkle of youth, whether in childhood, adolescence, or adulthood.
The days when we played, not wanting to waste a single second, the days when we adventured endlessly until it got dark, the days when we saw unforgettable sights during distant trips. Each of these moments is precious and valuable, becoming lifelong memories that continue to shine even now. It is from these feelings that this piece was born. When performing this piece, I hope everyone can bring forth such memories.
The piece begins with a popish and refreshing main theme, followed by an emotionally charged middle section, and then moves into a passionate 6/8 rhythm, before seamlessly returning to the main theme. After a brief moment of silence, the piece gently concludes, as if closing an album.
While it is desirable to perform the entire piece, if cuts are necessary, please refer to the following sections:
Measures 1 to 4, 1st time or 2nd time
G to H
J to K
If cutting other sections, please try to maintain a natural flow.
