Description
Françaix himself described this work as ‚an imaginary dialogue between the greatest composer of all times and his obedient servant. My Hommage à l’ami Papageno is more than just a paraphrase. It is a musical expression of my gratitude towards the musician whom people left to die in poverty.‘ This gratitude is recognizable throughout the entire piece: Both the elegiac, atmospheric wind setting and the loving arrangement of the main themes from The Magic Flute bear witness to that.
