A selection of Gabriel Fauré’s piano pieces, scarcely known and scarcely performed in Italy, may be a welcome introduction to his musical world, inclining toward introspection and dreamy moods. Right in the middle, however, there is also Luigi Nono’s towering masterpiece, ...sofferte onde serene..., for piano and magnetic tape (1976). Despite its being cast in a very distant musical language, Nono’s piece moves in a similar reverie world, where images are shadows, not solid things.
