Work introduction
Both Edoardo and another piece called Scenes from Bagni di Lucca were written after a trip to Tuscany. While Scenes of Bagni di Lucca is extremely intricate and reflective (dominated by soli including soft saxophones), Eduardo is intentionally light and focuses only on the behaviour of a single Tuscan lizard - during the same trip!
