ITALIAN MUSIC FOR GUITAR AND PIANO

ITALIAN MUSIC FOR PIANO AND GUITAR
It is a common belief that the combination of piano and guitar is a complicated enigma for both composers and performers: the sounds and approaches of the two instruments are too distant, their blend too unbalanced, the volume produced too different, and the way of ‘thinking’ or constructing harmonies too divergent. In short, when put together, piano and guitar tend to immediately prove almost incompatible. Furthermore, if there isn't even minimal amplification of the guitar, the piano will be forced to play almost always ‘on tiptoe’. Despite this, and despite common belief, several composers, especially in the twentieth century, have managed to achieve splendid results through a skilful work on the ‘fulls’ and ‘empties’ of the respective instruments, a particular attention to an unconventional dialogue, filigree writing and, of course, a good dose of instinct that never hurts. This album is a testament to these results and features a collection of original works for guitar and piano composed between 1950 and today by well-known and lesser-known Italian authors.

The journey begins in 1950 with one of the composers who, whether he wanted to or not, most strongly linked his name to that of the guitar, namely the Florentine Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco (1895-1968) who wrote the Fantasia op. 145 in two short, insightful movements, dedicating it to Andrés Segovia and his pianist wife Francesca ‘Paquita’ Madriguera Rodon. A miracle of balance that reflects undeniable French influences but also shows an extroverted and personal lyrical inspiration, always hovering between Spanish atmospheres and an all-Italian, or rather, Tuscan cantability.
Another 'conjugal' piece that bears the title of Fantasia is the single-movement work that the Brescia-born composer Franco Margola (1908-1992) wrote in October 1979 and dedicated to the duo formed by guitarist Guido Margaria and his wife Emilia. It is a quiet work with neo-Baroque movements in which the writing, however, shows a happy hand in making the two instruments converse, cunningly seeking a constant alternation rather than an actual superposition.
Another piece dedicated to the Margaria duo is the short Improvviso, composed between November 1979 and spring 1980, which differs little from the atmospheres of the previous work.
Another Fantasia – and another piece dedicated to the Margaria duo – is the composition that Carlo Mosso (1931-1995), a Piedmontese of transalpine origin, wrote in 1980. A meditative and restless, wooden page, full of archaisms and at the same time a bearer of a resigned modernity, deliberately stark, built around a few melodic cells developed through a modal path that in some points recalls both the language of the Swiss Frank Martin and the beloved Gian Francesco Malipiero.
The Divertimento a due by Adriano Lincetto (1936-1996) from Padua, composed in 1981 and divided into three movements (Molto lento. Poco mosso – Allegro molto – Finale. Molto moderato e cantabile. Allegro vivo) is undoubtedly a less sibylline work, far from any complication, both modern and postmodern, woven with a modal language in which numerous seventh chords are found.
This rich anthology concludes with two pieces written expressly for Lapo Vannucci and Luca Torrigiani and dedicated to them. Il silenzio del tempo by Luigi Giachino (1962) from Turin dates back to 2015 and is a four-movement suite tinged with jazz inflections and almost impressionistic flavours.
Quite different is Winter Time by Giuseppe Crapisi (1967) from Sicily, which in a striking page of about six minutes mixes repetitive and stubborn gestures typical of minimalism with a more elegiac vein. In this case, the two instruments rarely alternate, often weaving their delicate or rhythmic textures mostly simultaneously.

Thick seat cushion
Color: Grey
This double-layer seat cushion is so comfortable! Before, my lower back would ache after just an hour on a hard bench, but now I can work in this chair for most of the day without feeling tired. The PU leather has a great texture, looks high-end, and is incredibly easy to maintain—just wipe it down with a cloth when it gets dirty. It feels smooth and breathable. The 360-degree swivel is very smooth, making it convenient to reach for documents in the office. The casters roll quietly and won’t scratch the floor. For anyone who spends a lot of time working at a desk, the comfort level at this price point is absolutely worth it. I highly recommend it.

Meh
Color: Black
It's ok. I got it because it looked like it has more cushion and might be more comfortable. Nope. It's the same comfort level as different chairs. My reer still goes numb and gets uncomfortable in this chair. Also, where your arms sit, the chair arms are slightly curved upwards and it causes my chair to be unable to fit under my desk. If they weren't slightly curved, that wouldn't happen. It's just another chair, nothing spectacular.

Its an ergonomic chair that allows you to adjust tilt tension, arm rest height, chair height, and allows to actually move arm rest upward and out of the way. You can swivel and sway and roll around with ease. Perfect chair for sitting all day. The head rest provides great neck support and the padding is very comfortable and supportive. The wheels are strong and the entire chair is sturdy. Quality material, The cushion is made with memory foam as well as comfort foam. Such a quality chair. This is a great value for the money.

Great chair for everyday use
I’m really happy with this ergonomic chair. It was easy to put together and feels very sturdy once assembled. The mesh back is breathable and keeps my back cool even after sitting for hours. The seat cushion is comfortable and supportive, and the armrests are positioned well for working at a desk. I also like how smoothly the wheels roll and how easy it is to adjust the height. For the price, the quality is honestly better than I expected. I’ve been using it every day for work and it makes long sitting sessions much more comfortable. Definitely a great value and I would recommend it.

Excellent quality, comfortable for 8+ hour days
Color: Grey, Color: Grey
Since the reviews here were so very helpful to me, I decided to leave my own after using this chair a couple days. To summarize: Overall, I am thrilled with this chair and would recommend! I work remote, in a small apartment and this works well for both space saving and silence when rolling over hardwood floors all day. For more details, read on! It came packaged very nicely, so everything was well protected during shipping. There are no written instructions and to be honest, I didn't even look for them. If you've put one together before, this is pretty standard. The "leather" (not genuine, but feels like it) is thick and seems it will be sturdy for a long time. The padding is exceptional and that's the main reason I needed a new chair, as mine (a 'basic' brand one, IYKYK) only lasted one year before it felt like sitting on a hard plastic seat. The height is adjustable to go up higher than most, so for once I didn't have to raise it all the way to feel comfy. The surprisingly great thing about it is the arms that flip up, so I can push it all the way under my desk. I live in a small apartment, so every bit of space saved is a bonus! Speaking of apartments, the wheels on this are whisper quiet and I'm more than certain the neighbor below me is thrilled to not hear my clunky wheels from the other chair anymore. I was hesitant to pay too much for an office chair, but given the price and the quality, I feel it was an excellent purchase. A few items to note, if you have never put one together before: hand tighten the screws first! Don't put them on full force, until the pieces have been mostly assembled. This will help it not come out lopsided and the holes will be a little easier to line up. Watch the video, it will make the process a little easier (unlike what I did - put the arms on correctly, thought that looked wrong, then put them on backwards and lost my mind LOL). The video will also show how to recline the chair, if you like that (I do). It has a recline that's smooth as butter.
