world première 
21 July 2019 Cividale (UD), Church of Santa Maria dei Battuti

First world recording 
Body&Sound - short movie HARP by Alberto Nacci abstract


Thus Luis de Pablo expresses himself about this new work:
"Improvisación for solo harp, divided into three movements
(I. "Relato", II. "Scherzino, III." Studio "), was written for
Emanuela Battigelli and is dedicated to her with admiration and
respect. The work honors its name (improvisation)
because, although written with detail and precision, it requires
a freedom of reading by the interpreter (in this case
absolutely exceptional): form and writing require
an intimate collaboration. Perhaps the author remembered
Chopin and the "Presto" of his "Sonata Marcia Funebre" ... ».
