Good evening everyone,

I would like to point out the concert of Maestro Paolo Ferrarelli on December 4th at 5:45 PM at the Auditorium CASC - Banca d'Italia.

The program is very interesting and "in crescendo."

The concert opens with 5 Sonatas chosen from Domenico Scarlatti's Collection of Sonatas, gems of incomparable beauty.

Following this, the famous Sonata op. 53 no. 21 by Beethoven (Waldstein).

It is Chopin's moment:

- Ballade No. 3 in A-flat major, op. 47

- Three Mazurkas

and finally, the concert will close with the third Scherzo in C-sharp minor, op. 39

I remind you again of the address:

AUDITORIO CASC BANCA D’ITALIA

VIA DEL MANDRIONE 190 - ROMA

Friday, December 4th - 5:45 PM

ENTRY AND INTERNAL PARKING FREE

How I wish I could have been there! Unfortunately, 500 km is quite a lot... as the next forum service, a live stream of Paolo's concerts could be born!!

Normally we record them, but this time I am at work until six, so I will be lucky if I manage to hear the second half.

What a shame! I didn't dare ask, but I was hoping so much for the recordings! !!!

Thank you everyone. The concert went well even though there were some memory errors and that is not good. I am not satisfied. It will be repeated in Montecompatri on January 3rd at the municipal library hall. Completely different condition. Last concert Steinway A not great on the highs, very dry room, carpeted!!! In Montecompatri a reverberant room and the Yamaha C7 piano sounds not bad, but difficult to keep in tune. I will let you know. Thank you everyone and thanks to GPR and Andry who came personally.

I believe that being completely satisfied after a concert is practically impossible... mistakes, especially memory lapses, are unbearable for the performer, but the listener's point of view is completely different and those same mistakes do not affect the transmission of emotions... and therefore the enjoyment...

It's true dear Nancy, but we must be strict with ourselves. If we want to be completely honest, I made a mistake in presenting an entirely new repertoire. It is better to break with things already performed and tested. Once played in public, everything seems more "possible" and familiar. I will try the scherzo and ballata again on the 14th at a Music festival in the same hall. And then I will propose the same program on January 3rd at the Montecompatri municipal library, on behalf of another musical association. We shall see... or rather, we shall hear. Bye
