Starting from our common passion for Italian instrumental music of the early twentieth centurydeclareChiara Burattini and Umberto Jacopo Laureti wehave composed a picture (as variedas possible) around the two key figures of the world of piano (Busoni) and cello (Mainardi) ofthe time. From the Kultaselle variations (a youthful page, dense and full of passion) and fromBusoni’s seraphic Albumblatt, we passed through the Art Nouveau drawings of the WolfFerrariSonata and the Two Album Pages of Alaleona, ending with the Malipiero Sonatines and byMainardi (the latter, together with the songs by Alaleona, in the very first recording).
