General Note:
Principally drawn from the memorial piano album, Homage to Paderewski (1942).

"The inspiration for creating this 'Homage to Paderewski,' came from an album of piano music bearing the same title, published by Boosey & Hawkes in 1942. Originally intended to celebrate the golden jubilee of Paderewski's first American concert tour of 1891, his untimely death on 29 June 1941 caused a delay in publication, and the volume was then released in memoriam to mark his passing" -- Insert.

Compact disc.
