about

Eight Tarot Cards for Madam Rubio was originally a 22-movement work for two pianos entitled, "The Visconti-Sforza Tarot Cards."

I sent a copy of the two-piano version to Nancy Zeltsman who, with Janis Potter, recently created the marimba duo, Madam Rubio. They thought some of the pieces could translate very well as pieces for marimba duo. I have to give complete credit to Nancy's ingenuity and creativity for this version. The adaptation and order of Eight Tarot Cards for Madam Rubio! are completely hers.

I Il Saltimbanco
II La Torre
III La Papessa
IV Il Mondo
V La Morte
VI La Ruota della Fortuna
VII L'Imperatrice
VIII Il Sole
