Commissioned by two exceptional concert performers, these compositions have a very important value for me, as the two musicians mentioned are dearest friends. As students we shared joys and sorrows for a difficult course of study; but now that it has become our job, we know very well that ours is the most beautiful job in the world. This Romance and this Sonata are my gift for you and are dedicated to you. Nico Fuscaldo and Giuseppe Laino I am honored to be your friend!
