NOTES

The Improvvisazioni on a Prelude for piano (1991) belong to a new creative phase. It consists of a series of connected improvisations on a Prelude composed by a schoolmate of mine. Several elements of this Prelude are the root of each section, but the piece doesn’t resemble a theme with variations. Only a fragment of the Prelude is heard towards the end.

In order to better indicate the character of this composition, a particular notation is used where the indication ”senza tempo, a piacere” appears. Here the rhythm is completely left to the taste of the interpreter, but it can be suggested from the different spacing between each note. In these sections accidents apply only to the note that follows.
