Work comment
This is a work that was started in 2016 with a few measures, then stopped. I had some correspondence with Stefan during this time.
Then I was in the FST apartment in Berlin 2016 and suddenly one evening, when looking at the opening, it clicked and during a few days in Berlin alone I finished the Elegy and sent it off to Stefan. After this, I realised that it needed some companions so during the next year I added three more solo pieces to complete a suite.
