Giovanni Benvenuti e il Questionario di Proust
by Paolo Peviani
Il tratto principale della mia musica Credo che la caratteristica principale della musica che scrivo sia la centralità della melodia: anche nelle strutture armoniche e ritmiche più complesse ricerco sempre l'immediatezza del lirismo. In questo modo si crea una connessione istintuale e non razionale con l'ascoltatore che mi permette di essere accessibile senza rinunciare a nulla, ...
