Cute and endearing. When I was very young my mother would always ask me to play the piece on the piano for her and it has remained a sentimental melody for me ever since. One time, in Paris, I made a point of whistling the tune while walking down the Champ de elysee. Within nano seconds of starting to whistle the tune people around me began to whistle it too; all tourists of course, it was a good laugh. Merci beaucoup.
What a nice story! I have to say, I barely did know the song! 🥺. So, I started to listening it more seriously now, in my hotel, and looking up different versions, and thus discovered that great mentioned Cincotti version :-) And yes, it's a lovely music box, very delicately made! With eye for detail. And a great affect, with the "snow" that's kept in movement with a rotor blade so to speak, under the scenery with the girl, that's driven by the power of the same spring that also gives energy to the music box: haha I never saw that 'trick' like that done before in a music box (well, I never noticed it, I must correctly say :) Kind regards, Simon 🎹
@@harryvandijk2911 dit is geen huisvlijt hoor hahaha! By fàr niet. Maar gewoon "made in China" :-) Ik vond hem alleen gewoon tè mooi gemaakt om hem daar in Parijs op Montmartre in de winkel te laten staan (zie ook beschrijving). Groetjes! Simon 😘
