Piano 2.0 – Festival 33,7

‘- Francesco Tristano (LU, 1981) piano 2.0 (2022) for piano and electronics – 40’

“Music is music”. This is what Alban Berg responded to George Gershwin in Paris during the spring of 1928, as to why there was no distinction between what we consider “educated” music and “popular” music.

Francesco Tristano has endorsed this quote over the last decade with his work; combining piano and synthesizer, between the scores of baroque masters, contemporary composers, and the latest production and sequencing tools.
