This is my classical music-inspired album. The comparison with music often considered as serious can only occur with respect: there is even too much material to make comparisons and the sensation is that there is very little to invent. I might appear arrogant but in my opinion this is not true. I consider this genre to be very interesting, complete and, though difficult, very stimulating. After all, I cannot do any real harm.
I started with this musical genre at a very young age: I wrote the first scores of Gioco per Due Trombe at the age of fifteen and I was eighteen when the manuscript was practically complete.
Other tracks, such as Allegro per Tre Clarini (which is indeed for three clarinets!) and Inverno are part of the music for small chamber music groups, with Inverno a return to descriptive music.
My (brief) period with the Boves Musical Band (near Cuneo) as a flautist led me to try to create a piece of band music and Festa di Primavera is the result.This album is rounded off with the piece that took the greatest effort in order to obtain an orchestration that took into acount, as far as possible, the needs, limits and opportunities that a real orchestra can offer: Nuova Europa is an orchestral piece that attempts, at the same time, to take advantage of both the fullness of the whole and the distinctiveness of small subsets.
