Another section includes downloads of some of my pieces under the form of midi, mp3 and pdf (graphical translation of some musical scores).

Invariably, but more than ever this time, finding myself before and among my hills moves me from the depth of myself. It conjures up primeval images, such as a tree, a house, a vine, a  path, an  evening, a bread, a fruit … which came to my consciousness in these places and so, to see these trees, vines, paths ….again, arouses in me a sense of extraordinary fantasy power, as if only now the absolute image of these things sprang up in me, as if I were a child again, but a child bringing, in this discovery, a richness of echoes, sensations, words, recollections, in a word the wealth of a really unlimited fantasy. I have not been living thirty more years to no use. Now this state of primeval virginity I am enjoying, brings about distress in me, because I know that my job is to change everything into poetry. Which is not easy. The first idea was that what I have been writing up to now are senseless things, drawn up according to standards… which have no taste of such a tree, a house, a vine, a path…. as I know.  Going the roads, I understood that quite other words, other echoes, other fantasy, are needed. In short, a myth is pre-requisite. Universal, fantastic myths are needed in order to express profoundly and unforgettably this experience of mine, that is my status in the world.

WORKS FOR SOLO FLUTE

 

  6 IMPROVVISI Op. 19 (publ. by Berben – 4577) these small pieces were well analysed by the magazine Falaut. They present a certain difficulty in the performance (with double and triple articulations, scales, octave shifts and swift passages) and are therefore suited to students who have passed the 7th year test. They are written in very particular tonalities with many alterations in the clefs: this makes them suitable for transposition.
http://www.berben.it/

6 IMPROVVISI Op. 20 (publ. by Berben – 5289) they are very similar to the 6 Improvvisi Op. 19 and written in the same style. Difficulties due to speed and octave shifts characterize the eight passages. There are passages for the study of the "frullato".
http://www.berben.it/

8 ATTIMI FUGGENTI Op. 32 (publ. by Berben – 4596) they are very similar to the 6 Improvvisi Op. 19 and written in the same style. Difficulties due to speed and octave shifts characterize the eight passages. A novelty in comparison with Op. 19 is introduces by two ensemble passages: one is a duet performed by two flutes (very difficult and complex) and another one for flute and piano (where the speed of the flute is opposed to the slackening movement of the piano … whose performance is not difficult). Also these pieces, like Op. 19, require a good and advanced skill.
http://www.berben.it/

SOLO FLUTE COLLECTION (publ. by Berben –5106) includes an anthology of 17 pieces (many of which requiring different tempi): 15 for solo flute, one for two flutes and one for flute and piano.

Many of the pieces are also suitable as concerts since they can be agreable to listen to besides being study pieces.
http://www.berben.it/

BAROQUE SUITE Op. 76/a (publ. by Berben –5108) including many tempi and requiring no very virtuosity. The "baroque" title is to show the way with which the flautist must face the composition. The composition is divided into 3 "pictures": hell, purgatory and heaven (on the poetic directions of the Divina Commedia of Dante Alighieri).
http://www.berben.it/

HORTUS MUSICUS Op. 13 (publ. by Berben – 5104) a collection of 18 pieces two of which are duets for two flutes. The difficulty is not very high and sometimes they turn out to be rather easy, but in addition the pieces are very agreeable. There are many grace-notes and embellishments to be developed and therefore Op. 13 can be useful for the study of such figures.
http://www.berben.it/

STUDI Op. 50 (publ. by Berben –5107) ; they are ten pieces of a certain difficulty with passages requiring a skill of 7th year students. The last piece is divided into three parts and is inspired by and imitated from Doppler’s fantasy Hongraise; it is recommended for public performances and concerts.

Chamber music is often performed by peculiar groups and teams. It goes without saying that mine is an attempt to conciliate old and new tendencies, by referring to groups typical of the Baroque and post-Baroque (see Cimarosa, Vivaldi, Boccherini, Telemann ecc…)  and by adding a good deal of contemporary trends: see, for example, free and unusual forms and tonalities. I love free interpretation; therefore there are no performing instructions since I consider the contribution of the performer indispensable and imperative and do not disdain variations, embellishments, and invention (… in the style of jazz …).

Just to give you an idea of what I mean: let’s suppose that I built a house by being both the architect and the bricklayer; now I leave this building of mine to anyone who likes to live in it; it is now up to him to decorate, furnish, and give colour to my work within the limits of the basic style according to which it was conceived (I think this last remark to be of basic importance: how ugly are the country houses furnished with plastic furniture and various multicoloured sensational objects!!!)
