“In Autumn” Nocturnal Poem Op.7 Nr 1
The genesis of this work was very tormented. The idea of a sad theme emerged after a tragic event: my father’s death, occurred in 1988 when I was only 17. I instinctively expressed my grief improvising at the piano. I managed to write all the first part of the composition, but after hard work trying to complete it, I could not find the right continuation. This music had been buried in a drawer for a long time. Only in 2008, when I was not thinking about it, I composed melodic fragments that suddenly brought it to my mind, so I retrieved the manuscript and I managed to finish straight off this piece dedicated to my father’s memory.
