Deze suite is gebaseerd op Het bronzen varken van Hans Christian Andersen - een sprookje over een bronzen varken en een jongetje dat kunstschilder wil worden. De plaats van handeling is de Italiaanse kunststad Florence. Decompositie bestaat uit drie delen: het sprookjesachtige Flying Dreams in a Starlight Sky, het nostalgische, stijlvolle La Via Porta Rossa en het sfeervolle Twilight on the Arno River. Het bronzen beeld van hetwaterspuwende varken is te vinden op de hoek van La Via Porta Rossa. Het origineel is het marmeren beeld uit de Griekse Oudheid dat wordt tentoongesteld in de Galleria degli Uffizi. De componist bezocht Florence zelf, waarze werd ge nspireerd door beide beelden.

Kumiko Tanaka entführt uns in ihrer Suite für Blasorchester in die Märchenwelt von Hans Christian Andersen. Il Cinghiale di Bronzo (Das Bronzeschwein) handelt von einem armen Jungen, der nachts auf einem lebendig gewordenen, Wasser speienden Bronzeschwein durch die Gassen von Florenz reitet. Das Bronzeschwein, das Andersen zu seinem Märchen inspirierte, kann man heute noch besichtigen. Die Inspiration, die Kumiko Tanaka aus seiner Erzählung und der Atmosphäre der wunderschönen Stadt Florenz gewann, ist in ihrer Komposition deutlich zu spüren.
