A Leaf is a classical piece written by Paul McCartney, with assistance from John Fraser,[1] and performed by Anya Alexeyev[2] on piano.[3] The piece is split into 7 parts.[4] It was recorded live in front of Prince Charles as part of the "An Evening with Paul McCartney & Friends" concert, on 23 March 1995 at Royal College of Music, and it was debuted on US radio as part of a radio special titled Classical McCartney.[2]
An orchestral version, performed by the London Symphony Orchestra, appears on McCartney's 1999 album Working Classical.[5] Another orchestral version was recorded on 23 July 1996, at AIR Studios, in London, but remains unreleased.[6]
An original arrangement for piano duet of A Leaf is part of the album British Music for Piano Four Hands.[7][8] Commissioned by XXI-21 Productions Inc., this album was recorded in 2009 by Duo Caron, on Fazioli piano, at the Bon-Pasteur Chapel in Montreal, Canada.[9]
