Description
This is the twenty-seventh destination in the collection of the series "Ragtime at the Red Light District." This piece is set at Paris's Pigalle.

The main character in the piece is a 30-year old photographer who often specializes in the portrait of the woman. His portfolios of photography has no boundaries, especially during his three-week vacation in France. During his stay in Paris, the main character has taken memorable photos of students studying outside the Louvre, widows crying at local cemeteries, and even a 42-year old underground explorer of Paris's catacombs.

While taking photographs at Stade de France, the main character began feeling despondent because he had not been quite adventurous with the photographs he has taken so far. Then the main character heard rumors that just outside Moulin Rouge in the Pigalle district, an outdoor convention of models, mostly nude and semi-nude, would be taking place later that night.

The main character feverishly dashes on foot toward the district. As he reached the district, the main character saw a sea of elegant, classy models and not one photographer present at all. Women asked the main character if he could take photos, and something suddenly hit the character. He had just found the perfect pure personifications of natural beauty from all walks of life. Suddenly, his portfolios of photography had been accentuated.

This piece has a format of 4AABB4CC8AADD. Pietro Domenico Парадиси "Toccata in A" and Frederic Chopin's "Etude Number 3 in E Major" were the basis for this piece, the former whose inspiration is evident during the second section.
