Piano solo
Andrea Goretti piano
Original music, improvisation and contemporary jazz.
The project
Solo piano is where Andrea Goretti’s work as a leader began: introspective, meditative music in which virtuosity stays below the surface, and the work on harmony and dynamics evokes intimate emotions, far from the noise of the present.
The two albums are two sides of the same artistic exploration, shaped by contrasts.
A Light in the Darkness (Dodicilune, 2021) brings together eleven spontaneous compositions exploring the interplay of light and darkness, like the opposing forces of yin and yang. The booklet includes a poem written especially for the album by Umberto Petrin.
SILENCES: The Impossible Show (Pascal Maurice éditeur, 2022), commissioned by the French publisher, shifts the focus to silence: original music for the film No-Shows and reworkings of 1920s songs by Franz Lehár and Kurt Weill.
“Silence does not exist, but it is desirable. Without silence there would be no music.”
— Andrea Goretti, from the SILENCES booklet
