Lamento funebre

by Matei Gheorghiu

for piano

Description

I started this work with a funeral theme not thinking it would become this. When I was around 1,5 pages into writing the work, a dear friend died and that strangely made the work go into the direction it somehow already wanted to go to but I couldn't accept it. Even more strangely, I finished writing the work two days before the start of the war in Ukraine. It is a piece of deep importance to me that will always remind me of one of the most important people in my life.
