“Promenade”: sounds, timbres, colours, gestures of the heart, of the mind and of the art of piano playing. All of this but also so much more transpires in this series of pieces that make up this precious work of improvisation at the piano, by Pietro Delle Chiaie.Music born from the curiosity and excitement of trying a new piano that recently arrived at the Auditorium in Velletri; not far from Frascati, the pianist’s hometown, and recorded impromtu. The result is the sum of many elements that express Pietrodelle Chiaie’s great gift of the art of improvisation at is bestest.

A gift that has roots nonetheless, in research and study, life experiences (both good and bad) and the joys and sorrows that form the existence of every human being, but which, in this sensitive artist, find expression in this disc. Improvisation, in fact, in classical music but not only, is not the exclusive result of one’s inspiration, or of a romantic and difficult to delineate illumination, but it comes from the profound knowledge of harmony, melody, rhythm and of the compositional structures that are typical of particular eras and styles. This knowledge, which I would also call craftsmanship (in the true sense of the word) passes into the hands, or rather into the fingers, of the pianist who, mindful of infinite experiences (scales, arpeggios, jumps, repeated chords, dynamics and so on towards real and infinite paraphernalia of technical and stylistic instruments) translate onto the piano keyboard with confidence, but totally incognizant, naked and defenceless, driven by everything they know and have lived yet defenceless and very close to the possibility of failure, in the stupendous, exalting and terribly vulnerable act, at risk of creating… creating a unique, unrepeatable but necessarily and deliberately beautiful and important “hic et nunc”; a unique child of many parents: mind, heart, hands, study, genius, place, circumstances, people, loves, sufferings and ultimately, of re-living a life as it has been to that moment.

Pietro delle Chiaie gives us all that with this music, a sum of everything that has very deep roots but that materialize for a relatively short time, the time of this record. His improvisations immediately transport us to familiar musical areas (sometimes, in fact, we can identify stylistic forms and sounds typical of an era or similar to those of a specific composer), but at the same time everything is new, never heard before and saved during its creation but also, at the same time, saved as it dies, from inanimate microphones! We are given a gift that makes us dream, gives us joy and sadness, lightens our souls, enriches us and is never tedious.
