Music commentary
Laughter is magically charming especially the bright smile will be even more impressive. The author recalls that the woman she met when he was young, although it has been a long time away, and he can't remember her name, he is still unknown where she lives in the world, but the smile when she got along with it at that time still makes people unable to forget.

Wei-Te Sung Professor of National Taiwan Normal University, has been specialized in the performance and research of clarinet instruments for many years, and has made outstanding contributions to the teaching of wind music. In that year, he purchased a Basset-horn from abroad for performance and teaching. Because I have listened to this instrument in Germany many times

I wanted to write a work for it very early. It was with the consent of Professor Sung that he was willing to perform it for the first time in public, which was a strong motivation for creating this song. This is also the first time someone has written and performed for it in Taiwan.

In response to the rich and slightly melancholic tone unique to this instrument, it is considered to be a more romantic style, and tonal tunes that can be enjoyed by the public, and modern techniques, as the basic concept of writing.
