The title from this piece comes from a famous poem from Guillaume Apollinaire whose title is La romance du mal-aimé (The song of the ill-loved). It could serve as an Ouverture to a chamber opera written on that awesome text. The first strophe takes place in a froggy London where the poet meets a bad guy bearing a weird ressemblance with his beloved and lost muse... |
