In fact it is very intriguing and the text is beautiful.

Tito Carraro's voice then moves me: I owe to him my first listening in Italian to Prokofiev's "Peter and the Wolf" which, since early childhood, I had always listened to in Russian, with an absolutely arbitrary translation by my father.

The very positive amazement, however, relates to Maestro Muti's conducting: I swear I had never seen him conduct a composition by a contemporary and I thought that he had no relationship with the post-tonal repertoire.

You say that even if I dedicate a piece for orchestra to Muti ... he will perform it for me?

Jokes aside, beautiful piece.
