From the Publisher
'Notturno is a virtuso piece evoking the lyrical world of Italian music. Its shape recalls concert arias "etudes de concert" and salon pieces - creations of a bygone world that i still hold in great esteem.....
The piece has a subtext. It's about the role music plays in the life of a musician and the role we musician's play in life. It's about musicians first discovering the wonder of music and their own unique voice. Then, of course, there's the profession.....and the wear and tear that can lead you to ask "why am I carrying on...?" But, we play what we must play with excellence and commitment, even if it drives us nearly over the edge. The great part is, if we have the chance to take a little breath, we discover that the wonder never goes away.'
Notturno was writtne for the Paula Robisn in tribute to Paul Reinzi.
