September 28, 2024In touch with Eternity - Keith Jarrett's "Prism"
#49 In this episode I will finally talk about the artist who has been possibly the most influential figure in my (and i'm sure in many others) piano career. Keith Jarrett is a pianist, composer, Jazz legend, one of the most innovative and inspired artists of our time. I take one of his tunes, 'Prism' and present its most interesting features.

September 14, 2024When Music goes Beyond - Tales of Mystery
#48 In this episode I open the floor to an important ingredient of great Music: the Mysterious. Music is often beautiful for reasons that we don't quite grasp, it is tricky to point at what makes a piece unique and profound. I invite you to stay open when listening to music that lets the element of Mystery take over. In this episode I will discuss and provide examples of three works by modern and classical composers.

July 25, 2024Intermezzo in A major op.118 - Brahms, Andante Teneramente
#46 - The 2nd piano piece from the collection op. 118 by Johannes Brahms is an Intermezzo that displays the artistic genius of its composer: this short work for piano is a complex and thoroughly conceived architecture while being very gentle on the ear. In today's episode I show how harmony and melody are crafted to perfection.

July 11, 2024Musical Aphorisms - Chopin's Preludes
#45 In his Preludes for piano Chopin has expressed a vast range of emotions and dealt with a remarkable variety of musical ideas. The brevity of these compositions (24 Preludes op. 28) only enhances the depth of artistic achievement. In today's episode I introduce and discuss in details the Preludes from the romantic composer Frederic Chopin, with examples at the piano.
