Emilie, on the other hand, is a talented pianist for her age, which explains why she chose to serenade her adorable dog. It’s also a song that has stood the test of time. There is no sheet music here, only emotions, particularly love.

“Moon River” was originally performed by the late great actress Audrey Hepburn in the 1961 movie Breakfast at Tiffany’s.

The song was composed by Henry Mancini with lyrics written by Johnny Mercer, and really was intended for Hepburn to sing in the classic film.

Mercer’s lyrics are reminiscent of his childhood in Savannah, Georgia. He picked huckleberries as a child during the summers.

Something which he connected with a carefree childhood and Mark Twain’s Huckleberry Finn.

“Amazing – first the girl is talented FAR beyond her years and secondly, nobody would let a dog on top of their fancy piano unless it was truly loved and an important part of the family. WOW!”

The melody will have you closing your eyes and wishing she wouldn’t stop playing.To think, the iconic scene of Hepburn singing was almost never included in the film.Because the screenplay was too long, the head of Paramount Pictures suggested cutting the famous scene set on the fire escape outside of Golightly’s New York City apartment.

“Moon River” almost never became famous. They say Audrey Hepburn was the one who put her foot down, insisting that the scene and song be kept in the final cut.That’s why Emilie, at the age of seven, knows the song by heart.It’s incredible what strong, talented women can accomplish.
