////////////////////////////////////////////

The album Concerto Ostinato is a trilogy project written between 2014 and 2016 which includes two concerti for solo instrument and orchestra and a double concerto, for guitar, piano and string orchestra.
The project originates after the composition of the double concerto extending in a concerto trilogy where guitar and piano should have been the protagonists. The original idea was however later modified when I decided to explore a music form that reached the peak of its spread in the Baroque period. I decided therefore that the most appropriate solo instrument for the Concerto Ostinato was the harpsichord rather than piano.
The single titles suggest different characters of these three works: while the first explores five possible forms of ostinato, Quattro Canti proposes two different listening keys and, eventually, Tre Paesaggi attempts to describe the power of nature.
