"I Like Chopin" comes off Gazebo's self-titled debut album from 1983, and the Italian singer rode it to number one in several European countries. Don't go hunting for Chopin himself in it, though: Pierluigi Giombini wrote the music without borrowing a single Chopin theme, and Gazebo wrote the words and sang them.
Giombini was the engine room, producing, arranging and programming the track, with Gianpaolo Bresciani on the mix. It's pure synthetic romance, all sheen and melancholy, and the German 12-inch maxi-single stretched it past seven minutes, with an instrumental take on the flip side.
