Togni composed Compianto (Lament, track 3) in February 1975, based on the series of his friend Luigi Dallapiccola's unfinished work Lux, after learning of Dallapiccola's death.
Cultural Impact
Togni's Fantasia concertante is considered an early example of the 'opera aperta' or 'open work of art' concept, which gives performers autonomy in constructing the work's meaning.

Composition History
Togni's Sonata for flute and piano, Op. 35, and Fantasia concertante for flute and strings were written for and premiered by the flautist Severino Gazzelloni.
