This project is a contemporary reinterpretation of music from the past. The idea is to combine the modern sound of the felt piano with the structural classicism of the various compositions chosen, giving life to interpretations that have a different tonal vision in the playing approach. The project is divided into four parts, in a sort of historical-temporal succession that goes from the Baroque to the 1900s. The main interest, for me, was to bring to light elements observed in a different way than traditional musical perspectives.
