Nicky’s Memories of Salut d’amour

"Salut d’Amour is one of my earliest musical memories aged six and my mum has often told the story that I was so intensely moved by the piece on first hearing it that I burst into tears. How does this piece make you feel, what do you imagine when you listen and play to it?"
