What a beautiful piece, and setting, for a tribute to him.
Enzo Porta has been a great violinist and teacher that worked a lot on contemporary music. He has been such an important man in the development of new music in Italy and has written a wonderful book on new techniques. This video show him and the late flutist Annamaria Morini, a friend like Enzo was, that unfortunately died 3 years ago taken by cancer when she was still too young. May them both rest in peace.
