Complete Piano Music 1 - 29 Canoni • Nove Pezzi • Tema Con Variazioni

Note at head of traycard verso: These world première recordings use manuscript sources donated to the Conservatory of Turin by the composer’s daughter Maria Grazia Ghedini, who writes “As I listened to these pieces being played by Massimo Giuseppe Bianchi, I was reminded of something my father once said: ‘This is my credo: music is not a passing fashion, it is everlasting... As society becomes ever more technical, there is a great need for genuine sentiment, which is why music too must be animated, at its core, by a dramatic, romantic impulse... only thus can all its magic be conveyed.’” 12-page booklet includes M.-G. Ghedini's words on pp.6 & 10, in addition to complete tracklist (pp.2-3), notes in English (pp.4-6) and Italian (pp.8-10), artist bio with photograph (p.7), and advertisements for other releases in the Naxos 20th Century Italian Classics series (pp.11-12).
