Powell introduced the piece as a Solfeggietto he had played in childhood, then recorded it alone rather than with his usual trio. In two and a half minutes he races through C. P. E. Bach and breaks into his own hard-bop vamp, a jump between musical worlds that one contemporary reviewer predicted would become a classic example of Powell’s art.

The classical side carries the source work this cut came from. The jazz side carries the cut itself. Each player holds what is available, and the two need not match.
