We have a very special affection for this book, as the idea for PianoClass on Paper was born with it. Written, composed, and edited by the composer Bruno Angelo, this book questions, clarifies, and presents important musical elements in a practical, profound, and creative way.
Author’s Description
A book that combines texts and original scores for piano, embodying a reflection on this instrument as a medium for developing musical sensitivity. Various aspects of playing, thinking, and composing through the piano are explored in depth, particularly concerning melodies, intensities, articulations, metrics, and textures. From a broader perspective, this work is an invitation to read, perform, and reflect, grounded in pianism as a way to become more sensitive to music and life.
To read and/or play, and certainly to be inspired
I read these texts with pleasure and interest. They provide a creative and precise map of various particulars of the instrument. Bruno Angelo was both a cartographer and an educator, carefully cataloging his art and offering us ways to reach it…
“An inspiring book for students, musicians, and enthusiasts. Bruno Angelo’s essays are works of art in music, literature, and philosophy. Not to be missed!”
