Pianoforte - The mandolist of Taormina

The formation of mandolin and piano  consisting of the artistic union of two professional musicians, mainly derives from the desire to spread the knowledge of the music literature dedicated to this specific composition. The mandolin literature is extremely vast and various. It embraces quite a many musical styles: from Vivaldi's baroque to Hummel's classicism, from the romantic music right up to the contemporary and popular one.
The mandolin is an instrument that represents the culture and tradition of Italy. In fact, the diffusion of this instrument , which approximately took place at the beginning of the 19th century, is considered the first mass phenomenon in Italy and was, together with the national language, one of the most important elements that united all Italians of whatever social backgrounds or geographic origin they might have been.
Besides of giving preference to the original repertoire for mandolin and piano, also proposes numerous pieces of different musical genres, an offer that ranges from sound tracks to American and Italian music,  from  passages written by Neapolitan composers  to typical Sicilian songs. Whichever of the pieces you may  choose,  they all  wonderfully  match with the melodiousness that arises from the two instruments and listening to this special sound  never fails to stir strong emotions.
