Starting from our common passion for Italian instrumental music of the early twentieth century

declare

Chiara Burattini and Umberto Jacopo Laureti we

have composed a picture (as varied

as possible) around the two key figures of the world of piano (Busoni) and cello (Mainardi) of

the time. From the Kultaselle variations (a youthful page, dense and full of passion) and from

Busoni's seraphic Albumblatt, we passed through the Art Nouveau drawings of the WolfFerrari

Sonata and the Two Album Pages of Alaleona, ending with the Malipiero Sonatines and by

Mainardi (the latter, together with the songs by Alaleona, in the very first recording).
