about

I am a huge fan of Veronique Gens. On her album "Nuits" there is a cello and piano duo called "La Lugubre Gondola." It is a beautiful work that Franz Liszt wrote on the occasion of Wagner's death in 1883 in Venice. The original version was for piano solo. Liszt subsequently made versions for the cello and the violin.

I am a frequent visitor to the city of Venice, especially in the summer during the Biennale. I thought the Franz Liszt work would be a fertile seed for a trio of violin, cello and piano. I would make each movement a musical portrait of an expatriate who had an indelible connection to the city of Venice.
