Very beautiful and very beautifully played. Now, I feel that I MUST to play this... I never played Paderewski...

Happily, these days it can indeed be found on the web without having to struggle down the music store in the wind and rain (and then be expected to actually pay for it!)
It's on imslp.org as part of Paderewski's Miscellanea op. 16.

Actually, I didn't find it on the Web. When I was looking for this piece in the late 1980s, there was something called a music store where you actually held sheet music in your hand before buying it. Sheet music was definitely not on the internet at that time, nor could you order it online. I think I got the music at a music store in NYC (Carl Fischer music comes to mind).
Sorry if this all came out sounding snarky, but it amazes me that people think that the internet was always there.

Where did you find the sheet music for this lovely piece on the Web, pray tell?

As I was posting... Saw this performance on TV around 1988 when this was done and fell in love with this piece. Had to have it ... It took me 2 years to find it (this was back before they started putting sheet music on the internet, can you believe that) Finally found the piece and learned it. Not a difficult piece to play, really, but you do need to get that singing tone down to do a proper job in performing this. Thank you so much for posting!!

I agree that the upper register is flat. It's actually tinny. Unfortunately the piano is not up to the standard of this fantastic pianist. Everything that Stephen Hough plays, he plays well.
