ERIK SATIE Gnossienne 1 - Alessio Nanni, piano Alessio Nanni 2009-11-24 | Erik Satie Gnossienne 1 performed by the Steinway Artist Alessio Nanni, piano, Italy.Erik Satie is one of the most genius in the music history.Satie's coining of the word "gnossienne" was one of the rare occasions when a composer used a new term to indicate a new "type" of composition. Satie had and would use many novel names for his compositions ("vexations", "croquis et agaceries" and so on). "Ogive," for example, had been the name of an architectural element until Satie used it as the name for a composition, the Ogives. "Gnossienne," however, was a word that did not exist before Satie used it as a title for a composition. The word appears to be derived from "gnosis"; Satie was involved in gnostic sects and movements at the time that he began to compose the Gnossiennes.[citation needed] However, some published versions claim[citation needed] that the word derives from Cretan "knossos" or "gnossus" and link the Gnossiennes no 1 to Theseus, Ariadne and the Minotaur myth.Studio recording at ©WHITE NOISE FACTORY.

Erik Satie Gymnopédie 1 - Alessio Nanni Alessio Nanni 2020-11-26 | Erik Satie Gymnopedie No 1 Performed by Alessio Nanni, piano.Satie Gymnopedie 1 was recorded at ©WHITE NOISE FACTORY on November 24th 2020.Published by White Noise Factory Publishing, BMI Music.whitenoisefactory.comAll Rights Reserved.Piano: Steinway & Sons Mod. B211 'Klingsor'.Piano technician: Giulio Passadorihttps://www.passadori.it/Satie Gymnopedie 1Erik Satie composer of Gymnopédie was introduced as a "gymnopedist" in 1887, shortly before writing his most famous compositions, the Gymnopédies. Later, he also referred to himself as a "phonometrograph" or "phonometrician" (meaning "someone who measures (and writes down) sounds") preferring this designation to that of "musician," after having been called "a clumsy but subtle technician" in a book on contemporary French composers published in 1911.Erik Satie was a colourful figure in the early 20th century Parisian avant-garde. He was a precursor to later artistic movements such as minimalism, repetitive music and the Theatre of the Absurd.The Gymnopédies, published in Paris starting in 1888, are three piano compositions written by French composer and pianist, Erik Satie Gymnopedie 1.The word gymnopédies was derived from a festival of ancient Sparta at which young men danced and competed against each other unencumbered by clothing, and the name was a (presumably) droll reference to Satie's gentle, dreamy, and far-from-strenuous piano exercises.Satie’s vision of the piano’s strengths was minimalist and abstract. The mood of the three works is stately and serene, almost drifting from one moment to the next. Each of the three examines a common theme from a different perspective. Claude Debussy, who was an older contemporary and a friend, later orchestrated Gymnopédies No. 3 and No. 1.These short, atmospheric pieces are written in 3/4 time, with each sharing a common theme and structure. Collectively, the Gymnopedie are regarded as the precursors to modern ambient music[citation needed] - gentle yet somewhat eccentric pieces which, when composed, defied the classical tradition. For instance, the first few bars feature a disjunct chordal theme in the bass - first, a G-major 7th in the bass, and then a B-minor chord, also in the lower register. Then comes the one-note theme in D major. Although the collection of chords at first seems too complex to be harmonious, the melody soon imbues the work with a soothing atmospheric quality.Satie himself used the term "furniture music" to refer to some of his pieces, implying they could be used as mood-setting background music. However, Satie used this term to refer to only some of his later, 20th century compositions, without specific reference to the Gymnopédies as background music. From the second half of the 20th century on, the Gymnopédies were often erroneously described as part of Satie's body of furniture music, perhaps due to John Cage's interpretation of them.(Source: Wikipedia)Satie Gymnopedie no1.Erik Satie Gymnopedie 1.

Franz Liszt Ballade no 2 in b minor - Alessio Nanni piano Alessio Nanni 2011-10-18 | Franz Liszt Ballade nr 2 in b minor. Steinway Artist Alessio Nanni, piano.This piano work unquestionably represents the beauty of darkness in one of Liszt's most intriguing rendering ever. Unexplainably this Ballade is also one of his great neglected piano work ever. This piano work is based on a Byzantine myth, 'Hero and Leander', relating the story of Hero, a priestess of Aphrodite who dwelt in a tower in Sestos on the European side of the Dardanelles, and Leander, a young man from Abydos on the opposite side of the strait. Leander fell in love with Hero and would swim every night across the Hellespont to be with her. Hero would light a lamp at the top of her tower to guide his way.Succumbing to Leander's soft words, and to his argument that Aphrodite, as goddess of love, would scorn the worship of a virgin, Hero allowed him to make love to her. This routine lasted through the warm summer. But one stormy winter night, the waves tossed Leander in the sea and the breezes blew out Hero's light, and Leander lost his way, and was drowned. Hero threw herself from the tower in grief and died as well.Liszt's ending definitely is not a tragic one, though. There is certainly a storm at the end as the soaring waves of the Hellespont and the love duet commingle, but one way or another they make it out of the storm.__________________________________________________________Recorded on may 1st 2011 at Passadori Steinway Hall - BresciaProduced in collaboration with passadoripianoforti.it.Video release date : 6/6/2011 IMPORTANT NOTICE:We suggest to wait until the video is fully downloaded before start watching.Switching from Flash Player to HTML5 player is strongly recommended in order to avoid any frame-drop.Please fullscreen it.Produced by © WHITE NOISE FACTORYPiano technician: Giulio PassadoriLogistic supervisor: Flavio GheruzziPiano: Steinway & Sons, Concert Grand mod.

Rachmaninoff prelude in c sharp minor op 3 no 2 - Alessio Nanni Alessio Nanni 2011-04-26 | Rachmaninoff prelude in c sharp minor op 3 no 2 performed by the italian pianist and composer Alessio Nanni.Synaesthesia is a new and experimental project all around the new-media visual performance in real time applied to the classical music repertoire.This is a huge topic, already part of previous and important studies that involved many artists in the pasts.Kandinsky once said:"Color is the keyboard, the eyes are the harmonies, the soul is the piano with many strings. The artist is the hand that plays, touching one key or another, to cause vibrations in the soul".The concept that color and musical harmony are linked has a long history, intriguing scientists such as Sir Isaac Newton.Kandinsky used color in a highly theoretical way associating tone with timbre (the sound's character), hue with pitch, and saturation with the volume of sound. He even claimed that when he saw color he heard music.Starting from this suggestion I worked on a pure programming languages to built a completely new machine that translated the audio signals into colors and shapes, in a very pictorial way.In this way the visual part is acting and reacting with the music in a very powerful way.Video release date & time (Italy, GMT+2:00):01/10/10 -- 00:01:00Produced by WHITE NOISE FACTORY© by Alessio Nanni -- All Rights Reserved

Chopin Scherzo No 1 op 20 in b minor - Alessio Nanni [HD] Alessio Nanni 2010-12-26 | Chopin Scherzo No 1 op. 20 in b minor performed by the italian pianist Alessio Nanni [HD]Available for digital download as MP3, MP3 320, and FLAC files.http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/alessionanni2iTunes Store:itunes.apple.com/it/album/chopin-scherzo-no-1/id416745265This first Scherzo by Chopin takes A-B-A-Coda form and begins with two chords in fortissimo. At tremendous speed, a series of dramatic outbursts in the B minor tonic follows. Near the center of the piece, the music leads into a slower section in B major; finally one hears a tangible melody in the middle register, surrounded by accompaniment in both the left and upper right hands. Chopin clearly quotes in this section of the composition from an old Polish Christmas song (Lulajże Jezuniu); tempo is marked as Molto Piu Lento. The B major area dissolves as the harmony mysteriously changes character via secondary dominant. The two chords from the very start reappear, superimposed over vestiges of the middle section. Then the beginning presto repeats itself in the familiar minor tonic.The lead-in to the dramatic, virtuosic coda is similar to the approach toward the Molto Piu Lento, but slightly different (as it is with Chopin's Second and Third Scherzi also). This final section incorporates dizzying arpeggiated flights up and down almost the entire keyboard, suspended by a climactic series of nine ten-note chords (E# diminished seventh (with diminished third), augmented sixth chord in root position, secondary leading-tone chord of tonic B). After the resolution and a rapid chromatic ascent over four octaves in both hands, the coda and piece come to a triumphant end via a bold minor plagal cadence.__________________________________________________________Recorded on december 8th 2010 at Passadori Steinway Hall - BresciaProduced in collaboration with passadoripianoforti.it.Video release date : 23/12/10 IMPORTANT NOTICE:We suggest to wait until the video is fully downloaded before start watching.Please fullscreen it.Produced by © WHITE NOISE FACTORYPiano: Steinway & Sons, Concert Grand mod.

The nocturne in c sharp minor became famous to the big audience once was featured in the film “THE PIANIST” Wladyslaw Szpilman, referring an historical fact: actually the piece was famously played by Holocaust survivor Natalia Karp for the Nazi concentration camp commandant Amon Goeth, with Goeth being so impressed with the rendition, that he spared Karp's life.Chopin dedicated this particular composition to his sister Ludwika Chopin with the indication: "To my sister Ludwika as an exercise before beginning the study of my second Concerto".Chopin perfromed by Alessio Nanni, the Nocturne No. 20 in C-sharp minor Op. posth. tempo indication for the nocturne is Lento con gran espressione, the nocturne in c sharp minor is a solo piano piece composed by Frédéric Chopin in 1830 and published in 1870.Chopin dedicated this work to his older sister, Ludwika Chopin, with the statement: "To my sister Ludwika as an exercise before beginning the study of my second Concerto".First published 26 years after the composer's death, the piece is usually referred to as Lento con gran espressione, from its tempo marking. It is sometimes also called Reminiscence.The piece was played by Holocaust survivor Natalia Karp for the Nazi concentration camp commandant Amon Goeth, with Goeth being so impressed with the rendition that he spared Karp's life.The piece is marked Lento con gran espressione and is written in common time. After a soft, sad introduction, the main theme starts at bar 5, with the left hand playing broken chords in legato slurs throughout the section, imparting a haunting and continuous quality to the music. The theme then shifts to a dreamy pianissimo in bar 21, before returning to the original theme in bar 47, and finally ending in C♯ major. The first two bars of the theme from the middle section (bars 21 and 22), resemble the main theme from the third movement of Chopin's second piano concerto in F minor, which was composed around the same time (1830). The next two bars (bars 23 and 24) resemble the second part of the secondary theme of the first movement from his second piano concerto. The passage in the middle section of the nocturne in 3/4 time starting in bar 33 resembles the scherzando section of the third movement of the second piano concerto starting in bar 145 in which the left and right hand are playing an octave apart.
