The new version, for piano quartet, of “Urban Gardens” has been published by Breitkopf & Härtel.
Here the link.
This work is inspired by the urban gardens that are becoming a new, exciting presence in our cities. In such a setting I imagined the piano as an urban memory, not forgetting its standard uses (in the classical music, in jazz, in pop music), and the string instruments as a green, vegetal presence that surrounds it. Doing that, I created in my mind three special places in which each movement develops.
