According to its young composer Alma Deutscher: "I've always wanted to write beautiful music, music that comes out of the heart and speaks directly to the heart. But some people have told me that nowadays melodies and beautiful harmonies are no longer acceptable in serious classical music. Because in the 21st century, music must reflect the ugliness of the modern world. Well, in this waltz, instead of trying to make my music artificially ugly, in order to reflect the modern world, I went in exactly the opposite direction! I took some ugly sounds from the modern world and I tried to turn them into something more beautiful, through music."
