Mercurial

Eclectic energy, power, stamina and virtuosity –both physical and intellectual- are the center of attention in this work. A middle section presents a deep contrast engraved on a children’s tune that my son Dante adores, partly because his grandma sings it to him. It comes unequivocally into my piece as a natural consequence of a summer spent with my children, learning from them how to become a better father and also a better musician. The piece is dedicated to Eric Zivian, as a symbol of friendship and admiration.
