THE SERIES
With the Italian Art of the Keyboard the Institute endeavours to raise the interest of a broader audience in an extensive repertoire that, despite the kaleidoscopic richness of its tunes, harmonies and feelings, is mostly ignored by concert halls and performers, with the exception of a bunch of challenging tiny masterpieces audaciously revived by some early-twentieth-century piano stars.

Domenico Scarlatti
THIRD PART
DOMENICO SCARLATTI
Ciascuna sonata, con l’unico suo tema condotto sopra un movimento diviso in due parti, pareva disegnare ogni volta la linea breve d’una perfezione sempre diversa e variare per modulazioni imprevedute l’energia del più limpido elemento.
Gabriele D’Annunzio, Leda senza cigno
In an attempt to let you experience the incomparable emotions felt by Desiderio Moriar in D’Annunzio’s “Leda without Swan”, pianist Margherita Torretta will perform a sumptuous, kaleidoscopic selection of Scarlatti’s Sonatas from her new recording of these pure, solemn, delicate creations.
