From the back cover: "When you treat this kind of repertoire instrumentally – the classic pop repertoire – you have to do something." Mr. Gould has asserted. "You can't just keep on playing the melody. As a rule, I start out by stating the original character of the tune. Then I go someplace. Where I go depends on the nature of the tune because I try to take the ornaments and developments out of the tune itself. I use what I think are natural outgrowths – decorations, changes in tempo, color."
