24 Preludes after Chopin

The 24 Preludes after Chopin are a set of original compositions based on textures and gestures from the orignal piano cycle of Chopin. The exercise is one of reappropriation, where the objective is a symbiosis, a subtle shift from the first work. Sometimes dark, sometimes humorous, the offset, like a remix, sheds new light on the music, which oscillates between the nineteenth and the twenty-first century.

Warszawa 1944

Warszawa 1994 is the first part of a orchestral series entitled Pictures At A Revolution. In five movements, the work is a musical testament to events / cities that have marked the evolution of the struggle against the Communist dictatorship in Eastern Europe.

The first part is inspired by the insurgency against the german occupation by the Polish resistance (Armia Krajowa). The Soviet army waited until the resisters were crushed to “liberate” the city. Having a free hand to impose its own government, it will operate a rewriting of history, denying the role of the AK in favor of a communist resistance, in fact almost nonexistent.
