Como canción de tierra y mar II

Performing "Como canciòn de tierra y mar (II)" is entering the dimensions of pure, instrumental technique - an aspect comparable to sporting ability, and also of the virtuosity of the intellect, of the spirit; of the air, which supports the flight. The types of articulations, rhythmic figures, sounds qualities of the piece have a single purpose: to encourage the performer to tell. Narrating with sound drags to specific research on your instrument.

To the exploration of vibration, color, the dimensions of time and silence. Of alternative means to the word. The bassoon stimulates, with style, the conscience of the listener. The progress of musical memory. A conversion of the future into the past. Francesco Maria Paradiso is a tireless researcher of compositional refinement. The performance virtuosity of writing is equal to the depth of the Land and Sea of Sicily.
