In this early recording (which probably was released later),
Maxwell seems to be competing with the previous leading harpist:
Harpo Marx. While this is a beautiful recording with a very natural sound, the semi-classical style and arrangements constrict without helping the flamboyant, experimental soloist
Maxwell. The unease and unevenness suggest a more fitting title might be "Harpist Playing Hooky." There are two originals, "Fantasy in Chopsticks" and "Harping on a Harp." One track, "Clair de Lune," later was remade for the Decca recording
Let's Get Away From It All.
