@@piano4life374 Thank you! Have a nice week-end :-)

Yes, the last original piano composition. If I remember correctly, Winifred Wagner donated the autograph to Toscanini. Which is how Visconti got to know the piece and used it in Ludwig - beautifully performed by Franco Mannino

[@rudyd8403]

In fact, actually discovered by the 'Ludwig' team. A haunting whisper from the world's greatest 19th century composer.

This piece is amazing . Elegy for piano in A flat. WWV 93 (1858) and, as he said AGDO, it's also known as "Schmachtend" / languishing. This piece reminds with great subtlety of Tristan atmosphere and produces an intense emotion.

Dear Luis, to to the best of my knowledge, Wagner wrote it in Venice while composing Tristan's third act when he received news of the Death of Mathilde and Otto Wesendonck's son.....
