Essential information about the sheet music "Mandolina Serenata - Dolce Valse - Pas à pas - Anna Melodia"
Pianist and composer, Bruno Rigutto follows the tradition of great concert performers who enjoy offering encores of singing and memorable miniatures. After works for piano, chamber music, orchestra, as well as stage and film music, he presents here four deliberately simple and melodic pieces, designed to immediately touch the ear and the heart. Their direct writing, serving the singing line, illustrates an aesthetic of poetic and accessible piano.
This sheet music brings together four short pieces with distinct characters: "Mandolina Serenata" sketches a serenade with delicate sway and plucked resonances evoking the mandolin; "Dolce Valse" establishes a supple waltz with muted lyricism; "Pas à pas" progresses on a clear and reassuring conjunct melodic line; "Anna Melodia" unfolds a simple and emotive cantilena. Designed for the pleasure of playing and often offered as encores during recitals, these pages favor a comfortable tessitura, singing phrasing, and natural dynamics.
Ideal for students and self-taught pianists wishing to work on legato, phrase breathing, and musicality, these four miniatures are also suitable for auditions and small venues. Their apparent simplicity does not exclude finesse of touch nor attention to timbre, making this collection an excellent expressive ground for any pianist seeking short, expressive, and immediately communicative pieces.
