A Leaf is a classical piece written by Paul McCartney, with assistance from John Fraser,[1] and performed by Anya Alexeyev[2] on piano.[3] The piece is split into 7 parts.[4] The piece was recorded live in front of Prince Charles as part of the "An Evening with Paul McCartney & Friends" concert on 23 March 1995 at Royal College of Music, while it was debuted on US radio as part of a radio special, titled Classical McCartney.[2]

An attempted orchestrated version was recorded on 23 July 1996, at AIR Studios, in London.[5] An extended version, performed by the London Symphony Orchestra, appears on McCartney's 1999 album, Working Classical.[6]
