My name is Franco, I am 45 years old, I have a degree in Physics and I work at a semiconductor industry company. I am passionate about High Fidelity, for which I spend part of my time building vacuum tube amplifiers designed by myself, and, of course, music. A few months ago, I purchased a Yamaha U3 upright piano (used but in excellent condition) in Rome to give my 6-year-old son the opportunity to approach the instrument. On this occasion, I am also tackling the piano myself, as a self-taught student.... I have practiced with some first-year piano pieces (e.g., Beyer op 101, Duvernoy op 176, 23 exercises from Anna Magdalena Bach's book, I believe) with decent results (given how much you've regressed!). At the moment, I am finishing a "easy" Mozart sonata KV545, which I see even young musicians play divinely, and I have started studying S. Heller op 45, relating to the second year of piano. I hope that over time I can at least complete the third year of piano studies. That would be a great achievement for me.
I would like to thank Simone and Paolo for their useful and pleasant lessons... which I discovered by chance on YouTube.
A greeting to everyone, see you in the forum regarding the various interesting topics.
Sergio... well, in a certain sense, yes. Everything I do outside of work is for music. I was favorably impressed by the site due to the expertise of the authors and I see that there is much to learn...
Tell us more about yourself and your musical experiences...

As anticipated in the presentation, a good part of my free time is dedicated to building Hi Fi amplifiers... I love music.
Purely musical experiences.. not many.... I listen to a lot of music, mostly classical but also Jazz.
My favorite musician is W.A. Mozart. A few years ago I bought a keyboard that I liked from the very first note (Yamaha Tyros).... I think studying music is quite rewarding, which is why I took up the piano again; I started many years ago with a teacher from the conservatory of L'Aquila but only followed it for a couple of years. Now, whether out of necessity or passion, as much as I can, I'm not letting it go anymore...
The problem is the neighbor, a real bully .....I must provide in some way, perhaps with a digital piano ....
Hello Vitrus, I have also worked a lot with semiconductors, let's look for the most suitable place in the forum to exchange photos of our audio electronic apps (if you feel like it).

....in reality I have a small company, I don't produce solid state.
