Thanking Gino for the gift he gave me at his concert, which was very beautiful by the way, at his invitation I am posting my interpretation of his prelude no. 1, hoping that I have not distorted his musical idea.

Well done Gino and well done Simone. I also listened to the prelude last Sunday at a lecture-concert that Gino held at the Scuola Nuova Armonia.

I also confirm the impression of the others. The piece is very beautiful and evocative. I would say the interpretation is very convincing, even if we don't have the score at hand to make comparisons.

As Miss Carlo (Anna Marchesenii) would say, "how much this man excites me!"

Even if with a certain delay compared to the other posts... I am stepping in to thank Simone. I liked how he interpreted this piece of mine (which I hold very dear), although I would hear it better by reducing the speed just "a tiny bit". On Sunday I gave him a collection of my pieces (some of which were indeed performed that afternoon), and he told me, pointing to the first prelude, "OK, I'll record this one for you". It is true that it is not a piece of high virtuosity, but I didn't think he would do it so well in just two days!

Since I am aware of my technical limits, I have tried several times to "attach" sheet music of my pieces to musicians of a certain level. Unfortunately, until today there haven't been many responses... but I won't give up! If any friend of the forum wants to try their hand at them, I will gladly provide the prints. In addition to the pieces for piano (and those for four hands), I have quite a bit of chamber music (sonatas and other pieces for piano and other instruments, string quartets, etc.), and also some simple pieces for educational use (four hands, cello and piano, etc.)

Thank you all anyway for the appreciation!

Gino

To be honest, I lost about twenty minutes on it; I just gave it a couple of readings last night before going to sleep and recorded it, so the interpretation is a bit hit-or-miss in the sense that I did it a bit "my own way," like Lavazza. If I have time, I will record some other things by Gino.

Yes, the trill is 4-3

The first one is Tausig.

Congratulations Gino, a really beautiful piece; if anyone else wanted to try their hand at it, it would only please us.
