Yes, there was indeed a certain "favoritism"; if you think about "coincidence," in 2007/2008 I sent some sheet music to some pianists who have
literally disappeared in the meantime, whereas here, Simone almost recorded it before I even sent him the sheet music,
at least every now and then I have to change my mind about people's precision, and in fact I am grateful for it because it is by no means automatic that
I wouldn't want to be intrusive, you don't even have to answer me if you don't want to.
Why is it that Simone plays it and not you?
I would like to ask a question. In your opinion, does a composer know how to play all instruments? Even simultaneously if they were writing for an orchestra?

I agree with you, but since our friend hadn't said which was their instrument, I had assumed it was the piano. Who knows why I am inclined (mistakenly, of course) to imagine all composers as pianists.

Ciao.
Because I don't know how to play the piano; it's like when (for example) you read those job advertisements looking for someone who knows how to
use a PC—they should specify what they mean (even if it is understood by now), because for me (and not just for me) knowing how to use it means programming, solving software and hardware-related problems, and not just creating a folder (which, moreover, is allowed by the software and the operating system, not directly by us) or moving files.
I am doing some preparatory technical exercises, but I preferred to entrust it (like other pieces) to someone who knows how to play; I could just try to do simple pieces like this one, but the result wouldn't be the same, because the touch—no matter how much the "composer" knows what they want to achieve—is rarely able to be calibrated to the right point.

The piece has a suggestive atmosphere and in a very personal way; I liked it very much. Compliments also to Simone, it seems to me he performed it at his best.

I had heard Aria of yours, this piece seems more convincing to me

Thank you, it is probably the only piece of a certain fluidity that I have managed to write so far, precisely because of this
i titled it this way, Simone then played it really well, he captured exactly the character of the piece, and the agogics he used
are very close to how I would have intended it if I had played it.

I am rewriting Aria (also doing the analysis, a real mess; on the piano I play it following the typical successions of the degrees,
but at the time of writing the entire score, I always add notes foreign to the harmony, I will have to make two versions).
And this is also a very short piece, I wrote it practically on the fly last summer; every now and then, for those who write, things like this come to them by "luck".
Thank you again, in those increasingly rare moments of "lucidity and calm" I feel like writing something peaceful; in fact, for me, these peaceful sounds are rare.
