    It was reading the words seducer, gambler, necromancer, swindler, Good Samaritan, spy, swashbuckler, self-made gentleman, entrepreneur, poet, translator, philosopher, and general bon vivant that attracted me to Casanova. It might be trite to say he was an interesting character but there was something provocative and exciting for me about him. Having been in love with Fellini's Casanova (1976) for many years, I rediscovered my attraction for the film and decided to write something that would include his name in the title. The piece has no resemblance to any of the events in Casanova's life nor has any tribute or dedication to him. Musically, I was very much influenced by Stravinsky and Pérez Prado . I don't know if those two names were ever put together in the same sentence, but nonetheless, that was the music I was mostly listening to while writing this piece. Stravinsky offers me the quirky, dissonant, dance-like movements, and Pérez Prado makes the music sexy.
