about

With special guests from Metropolitan Klezmer – Rick Faulkner (trombone) & Dave Hofstra (tuba)
The opening section of this waltz sang itself to Eve in fall 2001 as she drove upstated (the first three notes, rhythmically transformed, come from a standard ending used in some Central European folk songs she'd been listening to). Eve dedicates the piece to her Oma [grandma], fellow New Yorker Lisl Weinberger, born in 1907 in Vienna, then capital of the Austro-Hungarian Hapsburg Empire and still today waltz capital of the world. The tune begins with an Old World sensibility from an eastern part of Austro-Hungary, not so Viennese; its melancholy yet well-ordered theme travels through anxiety, menace, humor, and the unexpected, with a tiny nod to Beethoven in a transitory threatening passage. Rachelle gives her own nod to Don Corleone.
