Giorgio Gaslini (1929-2014)
Pepetuo Velocetto Motorcycle
"With a vaguely Paganin-like assonance, it represents the continuous flow of agile lines that cross the score, counterpointed by nervous bursts and here and there by a resonant chorale."
Giorgio Gaslini (2006)

Domenico Giannetta (1974)
Modus (2008)
The piece, in tripartite form (Con moto – Poco Andante – Tempo I), is characterized by a sadly elegiac tone with themes based on fragments of the octatonic scale, a dense contrapuntal network, and temporal relationships between duration values ​​that recall the modus (relationship between longa and brevis) of fourteenth-century musical theory. Modus is dedicated to the Trio Caroli.
Domenico Giannetta (2017)

Giuseppe Ratti (1965)
The Dark Day (2006)
"The Dark Day" is a work written in 2006 on commission from the Caroli brothers, to whom it is dedicated. It is a composition that, five years after the "dark day," the attack on the Twin Towers in New York in September 2011, offers a reinterpretation of those tragic events. A black-and-white postcard that tones down the drama of those moments, leaving room for the melancholy and desolation of that place today.

The flute and the oboe, symbolic presences of the two towers, intertwine and entwine. Theirs is a single song that gradually rises toward the heavens. The two instruments chase each other, transforming a melancholy theme into a tight and violent canon, allowing the desperate screams, symbolizing that tragic day, to filter through.

The finale is tinged with a subtle nostalgia. The return of the main theme in a solemn fff leads us to the awareness of the indestructibility of two fundamental words for humanity: 'freedom and future.'"
Giuseppe Ratti (2017)

Paolo Pessina (1969)
12 Miniatures Op.12 (1996)
"The 12 miniatures Op.12, composed in 1996, follow a very cohesive tonal and structural scheme. Each of the 12 pieces gravitates around one of the 12 notes of the chromatic scale according to this precise tonal plan:

1. G minor
2. C# minor
3. C major
4. F# minor
5. F major
6. B minor/major
7. Bb major
8. E minor
9. Eb major
10. The minor
11. Lab major
12. D minor

From a technical and poetic perspective, the use of a well-defined tonal path and the balanced distribution of dance rhythms create a musical kaleidoscope. Each miniature represents a unique moment that completes the final picture.
Paolo Pessina (2017)

Daniele Zanettovich (1950)
Six Andalusian Songs (2007)
"The Six Andalusian Songs began as a small suite for guitar, very simple both technically and structurally. Later, versions were developed for marimba, flute, viola, and harp, and finally for flute, oboe, and piano.

Each song maintains the dance character from which it is inspired, even in the brief interpolations - in the initial Malagueña and the final Tanguillo - which act as small ad libitum cadences."
Daniele Zanettovich (2017)
