Composti tra il 1805 e il 1817 e pubblicati da Giulio Ricordi, i 24 Capricci sono una testimonianza delle capacità del violino e mostrano tecniche perfezionate o innovate da Paganini. Egli ereditò la tradizione della scuola violinistica italiana, la cui conoscenza della tecnica violinistica era probabilmente insuperabile. Ma portò quell’eredità a un livello inaudito, lasciando i suoi contemporanei e i suoi epigoni, fino ai giorni nostri, in soggezione e meraviglia. Inizialmente ritenuti ineseguibili a causa della loro complessità tecnica, i suoi Capricci trascendono i semplici esercizi, offrendo un’esperienza di ascolto accattivante, ricca di umorismo, magia, espressività e variazioni fantasiose al di là della pura velocità. Queste composizioni esplorano diversi timbri, dall’imitazione dei corni ai flauti o alle fanfare, incarnando l’incessante ricerca di Paganini dell’innovazione artistica nel campo del violino. È quindi giusto che ciò che rappresenta una sfida impressionante per il

Night Music is the second album by Ukrainian pianist and composer Vitalii Kyianytsia. It consists of a twelve-part cycle with some musical references to classical piano cycles by Chopin, Schumann and other Romantic composers. The cycle should only be performed as a whole, without omissions or alterations, in an almost dark hall where the audience can immerse themselves in the special atmosphere of the piece while lying on the floor.
While some pieces follow a strict structure, others are more flexible in terms of form, harmony and rhythm. In general, the work balances between jazz and a classical- romantic language, creating an interesting and unique blend of these completely different musical ideas. Night Music is thus an attempt to combine and expand the two areas of his creative work: classical music and jazz.

Following his Acoustic Masks, the new record Constellation of Anomaly is Vasco Trilla’s 6th solo album, bringing a new palette of sounds with a vast array of percussion instruments played in numerous creative and unconventional ways. Russian flat bells bowed and played with vibrating objects, a timpani full of wind-up music boxes and spiced up by a transducer speaker, an old zither hit as a drum with two snare drums as resonators, Iranian round bells mixed with gamelan strips, styrofoam and triangles…. All coalesce in a narrative album that reflects on how to emancipate percussion of beat and pulsation, creating rich textures, drones, intricate layers of sound. Pure percussion Music.
