Originally entitled ‘Ode to friendship’, Reddy changed the title at some point to ode to a lost friend, which better reflects the sense of yearning this solo piano piece embodies and the Wagnerian harmonic world it references. Like the other three pieces in the set, it was composed in 1985 directly in pen, hence the frequent crossings out and rather provisional notation especially in some of the left-hand accompanying passages, which have to be ‘imagined’ or indeed, improvised.
