Originally named “Romance Héroique”, this piece was referred to by Donald in later life as “Rhapsody”. He often included it in his concerts, describing it in his programme notes as “vigorous and tempestuous, exploiting the full range of the keyboard”.
It is the piece most often referred to by friends of Donald asking about his work.
