IL CAMMINO - excerpt

ENG: Quadri was born as a reworking of the original piano version of Pictures at an Exhibition by Modest Musorgskij. It stands apart from both Ravel’s celebrated orchestration and the “historic” Symphonic Prog version by Emerson, Lake & Palmer. I worked on Musorgskij’s thematic materials, recomposing them into a new structure — a mini-suite that alternates reconstruction, orchestration, and authentic fragments.
At certain points, I also included a quotation from A Night on Bald Mountain, as a symbolic echo of Musorgskij’s most visionary side. The result is neither a transcription nor a mere orchestration, but a structural reinterpretation — a journey through the sonic memory of the work itself.
The SIAE officially recognized its semi-original nature, classifying it among the creative derivative works and allowing me to sign it as Musorgskij – Carnevale.

ITA: Quadri nasce come rielaborazione della versione originale per pianoforte solo di Quadri di un’esposizione di Modest Musorgskij. Diversa sia dalla celebre orchestrazione di Ravel, sia dalla “storica” versione Symphonic Prog degli Emerson, Lake & Palmer. Ho lavorato sui materiali tematici originali, ricomponendoli in una nuova struttura: una mini-suite che alterna ricomposizione, orchestrazione e frammenti autentici. Ho inserito anche una citazione da Una notte sul Monte Calvo, come richiamo simbolico al lato più visionario di Musorgskij. Il risultato non è una trascrizione né una semplice orchestrazione, ma una reinterpretazione strutturale — un viaggio nella memoria sonora dell’opera. La SIAE ne ha riconosciuto la natura semi-originale, collocandola tra le opere derivate di carattere creativo e permettendomi di firmare l’opera come Musorgskij – Carnevale.

Due to discographic and editorial agreements, it is not possible to upload the full composition to SoundCloud, so this version is presented as an extract.

Note on the extract
Since the original composition is very long, two excerpts have been created: one from the first part and one from the second part of the work.
This file presents a selected excerpt from the second part.

Description
When music is born as an inner narration, a deep memory, it reveals itself in the moment when imagination takes shape in sound and fosters the creation of “images” in the listener.

“Pagine dal Libro dei Sogni” is a wide-breath symphonic piece for piano, orchestra and solo instruments — including cello, oboe and others — inspired by a unique experience in which dreams became the point of contact with the non-conscious, unveiled through interpretation.

The piece unfolds like an album of “inner images”, non-visual memories: each page reveals a new dream, a new voice, a new sound. A movement of thoughts, emotions and different identities shared with many people.

Each section symbolically corresponds to a dream told by a different person in the group. With every dream the music changes — new colours, new timbres, new movements — creating a continuous flow of images and transformations, yet always brought back into a harmonic and linear motion.

At a certain point this flow breaks abruptly: a dramatic event, the end of a fundamental relationship, disappearance.

Only the piano remains, quietly recalling one of the initial themes, like a memory resurfacing and being reworked in solitude. Gradually it “understands” that the story has ended and moves away. What remains is pain, expressed in a melancholic moment that closes the piece and stays as an indelible experience.

This work represents sound as an inner, invisible image of the human being: not simple notes, but the audible form of deep memory, revealed through the act of sharing dreams.

The piece is part of the 2025 WorldWide Release of “Tu che mi puoi capire”, published track by track on SoundCloud in a narrative and musical path accompanying the full album.

As part of my concept of integral composition, the piece was entirely written, arranged, orchestrated, performed, mixed and mastered by me.

Tu Che Mi Puoi Capire

PAGINE DAL LIBRO DEI SOGNI - Worldwide Release 2025 - excerpt from 2nd part

I’m a composer, songwriter, arranger, orchestrator, orchestra & choir conductor, music producer, mentor, writer, and researcher.
My work moves freely across different forms of expression — from Progressive Rock and Modern Symphony to Classical Piano, Songwriting, and Cinematic Music.
Over the years, I’ve shared projects with remarkable artists — including collaborations with Francesco Di Giacomo and Rodolfo Maltese of Banco del Mutuo Soccorso — and composed original scores for film, television, and symphonic productions that have reached international audiences.
As a mentor and educator, I’ve created the ANORA method, together with formative paths and musical laboratories exploring music as a uniquely human language — expressive, relational, and representative of inner experience.
In my poetic vision, sound itself becomes an image — a mental landscape that connects the composer’s inner vision with the listener’s imagination.
Each work blends tradition and innovation through orchestral writing, progressive structures, and storytelling soundscapes.
Every “side” of my music reflects a different perspective — all parts of the same creative vision.
