Riccardo Pick-Mangiagalli: Colloque au clair de lune (Conversation by moonlight), Op.33 No.1

The Czech-born Riccardo Pick-Mangiagalli (1882-1949) was a concert pianist who studied at the Milan Conservatory and succeeded Pizzetti as its director in 1939. This piece is the first of his two 'Lunaires', the second being the far better known 'La danse d'Olaf'. 'Colloque …' was published in 1916, and plays like a piano version of a scene from a Puccini opera (it is described by Maurice Hinson in his book on piano repertoire as a 'sensuous nocturne'). One can easily imagine it as a duet between Cavaradossi and Tosca. The neglect of late 19th c and early 20th c Italian piano repertoire when Italian opera from the same period remains so popular is mystifying.
