French accordionist and composer Jacques Pellarin wrote Des Jours Meilleurs as an accordion solo during lockdown in 2020. He subsequently approached pianist Helen Walker about her arranging the work for cello and piano. The result is charming and engaging, and has been released as a single by Nicola Farnon (cello) and Helen Walker (piano).
