I don't speak Italian-yet-. ( Though I'll wager visiting Lake La Guarda in the
Italian Alps on my way to Lake Lucerne and Lake Zurich in 2015 will motive
me to learn in 10 days how to carry on a simple conversation. I like any type
of piano music. If I'm not mistaken, piano is the Italian term for soft. The use
of a hammer to resonate the strings of a Harp, synonomous with the celestial,
is wunderbar. All kinds of consonant music. and too, the Oriental dissonant
scale of music are favorites of mine. But piano ranks way up there with the
kind of stringed music that Archangelo Corellim Rossini, Vivaldi are known for.
I'm a fan of George Winston, the pianist, but I've never focused on the piano
arrangements of Liszt. I do like all instumental music such as jazz & classical
though. I'll have to give him a listen. Thanks, V.
