This short work for flugelhorn and piano was completed in 2004, after some time of existing in a sketchbook as a mere melody with piano accompaniment that was first written during one of Wallin's performance tours and inspired by the sights of Pittsburgh, PA. It wasn't until Wallin met James Huff, a young trumpet and flugelhorn player at Cal Poly, Pomona - the man she would eventually marry - that it was suggested to her that she might turn her "Pittsburgh Melody" into a solo for flugelhorn.
