ITALIAN MUSIC FOR GUITAR AND PIANO

ITALIAN MUSIC FOR PIANO AND GUITAR
It is a common belief that the combination of piano and guitar is a complicated enigma for both composers and performers: the sounds and approaches of the two instruments are too distant, their blend too unbalanced, the volume produced too different, and the way of ‘thinking’ or constructing harmonies too divergent. In short, when put together, piano and guitar tend to immediately prove almost incompatible. Furthermore, if there isn't even minimal amplification of the guitar, the piano will be forced to play almost always ‘on tiptoe’. Despite this, and despite common belief, several composers, especially in the twentieth century, have managed to achieve splendid results through a skilful work on the ‘fulls’ and ‘empties’ of the respective instruments, a particular attention to an unconventional dialogue, filigree writing and, of course, a good dose of instinct that never hurts. This album is a testament to these results and features a collection of original works for guitar and piano composed between 1950 and today by well-known and lesser-known Italian authors.

The journey begins in 1950 with one of the composers who, whether he wanted to or not, most strongly linked his name to that of the guitar, namely the Florentine Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco (1895-1968) who wrote the Fantasia op. 145 in two short, insightful movements, dedicating it to Andrés Segovia and his pianist wife Francesca ‘Paquita’ Madriguera Rodon. A miracle of balance that reflects undeniable French influences but also shows an extroverted and personal lyrical inspiration, always hovering between Spanish atmospheres and an all-Italian, or rather, Tuscan cantability.
Another 'conjugal' piece that bears the title of Fantasia is the single-movement work that the Brescia-born composer Franco Margola (1908-1992) wrote in October 1979 and dedicated to the duo formed by guitarist Guido Margaria and his wife Emilia. It is a quiet work with neo-Baroque movements in which the writing, however, shows a happy hand in making the two instruments converse, cunningly seeking a constant alternation rather than an actual superposition.
Another piece dedicated to the Margaria duo is the short Improvviso, composed between November 1979 and spring 1980, which differs little from the atmospheres of the previous work.
Another Fantasia – and another piece dedicated to the Margaria duo – is the composition that Carlo Mosso (1931-1995), a Piedmontese of transalpine origin, wrote in 1980. A meditative and restless, wooden page, full of archaisms and at the same time a bearer of a resigned modernity, deliberately stark, built around a few melodic cells developed through a modal path that in some points recalls both the language of the Swiss Frank Martin and the beloved Gian Francesco Malipiero.
The Divertimento a due by Adriano Lincetto (1936-1996) from Padua, composed in 1981 and divided into three movements (Molto lento. Poco mosso – Allegro molto – Finale. Molto moderato e cantabile. Allegro vivo) is undoubtedly a less sibylline work, far from any complication, both modern and postmodern, woven with a modal language in which numerous seventh chords are found.
This rich anthology concludes with two pieces written expressly for Lapo Vannucci and Luca Torrigiani and dedicated to them. Il silenzio del tempo by Luigi Giachino (1962) from Turin dates back to 2015 and is a four-movement suite tinged with jazz inflections and almost impressionistic flavours.
Quite different is Winter Time by Giuseppe Crapisi (1967) from Sicily, which in a striking page of about six minutes mixes repetitive and stubborn gestures typical of minimalism with a more elegiac vein. In this case, the two instruments rarely alternate, often weaving their delicate or rhythmic textures mostly simultaneously.

Don’t let the bad reviews deter you from saving your skin
Style: Restorative Protective Cream-3.3 Fl Oz, Style: Restorative Protective Cream-3.3 Fl Oz
I avoided purchasing this product for a while due to the bad reviews. However, it is still highly recommended by several dermatologist for skin barrier repair. Upon doing my own research, the product can separate if it is stored in cold temperatures (41 degrees or less). This can be fixed people!! It literally says it on the bottle/box and there’s even a video that Amazon posted saying this can happen. It does not affect the product. It’s just the thermal spring water and some oil separating but it can be reincorporated. So I took the risk and ordered this. I’m a first time purchaser. It was already at my door when I was leaving for the gym at 5:30am so I let the package sit in my car for about 1.5 hours (temp was about 70s). I put the tube in a glass of hot sink water for 10 minutes when I got home. I rolled the tube in my hands for a few minutes to mix everything together. Guess what. It came out like a CREAM. No liquid shot out at me. If you can read, do a little research, and can follow instructions, you can get a working product. I have sensitive skin. It’s been a struggle healing my skin barrier but it was getting better. I decided to do something dumb and try dermaplaning. My cheeks have been very red and irritated since. I did avoid active products for a few days after dermaplaning but it was still irritated. Just with the first time use of this product, it was nearly instant relief of some of the redness. It’s fragrance less which is great. It is currently on sale so I think the value is good for what it is right now. I only used two pea-sized amount for my whole face so I think it will last awhile. This can significantly help your skin barrier! Do your own research and read the instructions!

Samples great, purchased product not
Style: Restorative Protective Cream-1.3 Fl Oz
My dermatologist recommended this cream after a laser procedure, and gave me some samples to take home. I found the thick, smooth cream calming and protective for my irritated skin. The zinc oxide leaves a whitish cast at first, which does tend to fade after it sinks in, but it could be problem if you have darker skin. Not an issue for me since I’m pale. Because I liked the samples, I ordered two full-size tubes. Both arrived with the product inside completely separated. The texture was nothing like the samples. I opened the first tube and clear, watery liquid spilled everywhere. I quickly recapped it, shook and squeezed the tube as much as possible to try to re-emulsify the product, and it remained stubbornly separated, with chunky white paste suspended in thin liquid. I’ve thoroughly shaken the second tube and continue to hear the sloshing of thin liquid. So apparently once the cream has separated, it will not re-mix. I don’t know what caused the unacceptable condition of the product—manufacturing variation, storage conditions prior to shipping, or conditions during shipment. Whatever it was, I would not buy this product in this way again. The samples were a five star product. The full size product I received was zero stars.

Helped calm my damaged skin barrier, but expect stinging on very raw skin
Style: Restorative Protective Cream-1.3 Fl Oz
I bought this because I severely damaged my skin barrier and needed something gentle that would help my skin calm down and heal. My skin was extremely sensitive, raw, irritated, tight, and honestly uncomfortable even with water touching it. This did help, but I do want to mention that if your skin is VERY damaged or raw, there can be some stinging at first. I experienced that myself during the first few applications. The stinging didn’t last long for me, but I think it’s important to mention because people with damaged barriers are usually desperate for relief and can panic when products sting. What ended up helping me most was using this as part of a simple barrier repair routine instead of using it alone. What I personally did: * Wet my face first with either water or Avène Thermal Spring Water so my skin was damp but not soaking wet * Applied the Avène Cicalfate onto the damp skin * At night, I sealed everything in with CeraVe Healing Ointment (Aquaphor would probably work too) I repeated this every night before bed and sometimes during the day if I was staying home. If I was leaving the house during the day, I would do the same steps but use sunscreen instead of sealing with ointment. I honestly think sunscreen is extremely important when your skin barrier is damaged and trying to heal because irritated skin feels even more sensitive when exposed to sunlight. I used this day and night, very easy to use, and didn’t experience breakouts from it. The texture is thick but comforting once applied, especially when your skin feels dry and stripped. Overall, I would buy this again. I don’t think it’s some overnight miracle product, but it genuinely helped my skin calm down and recover when my barrier was damaged. I personally didn’t notice any strong fragrance, which I appreciated since my skin was already extremely irritated. I also like how versatile this product is. Even though I originally bought it for barrier damage, I can see why people use it for irritation from retinol, over-exfoliating, dry patches, or skin that just feels compromised in general.

Holy Grail of Moisturizers
Style: Restorative Protective Cream-3.3 Fl Oz
I bought this after hearing a dermatologist on Instagram rave about this cream and now I see why. As someone who suffers from pretty severe eczema this is my go to holy grail for flair ups. Perfect for sensitive skin and can be used daily. It is very thick so provides a thick layer of moisture on your skin. I will say I have bought 2 sizes in this and the smaller size (1.3fl oz) did separate and had a liquid part that would come out. I have bought numerous tubes of the larger size (3.3fl oz) and never had an issue with separation with the larger size. I’m learning as I get older that more expensive does not mean better quality skincare. This is one that is not only affordable, but will also give you noticeable results. I have everyone in my whole family using this product!

No red spots anymore ! YES !
Perfect to hide everything you hate, (even RED spots if you got acne !!!) without looking "over make up". I use it every day since years, and I don't have to use a looooot to have a greeeeaaaaat effect. I found the right color for my skin because an esthetician helped me to pick the good one. I hope you will find yours !
