QuarnaMusica

The Clarionet Trio was born in 2019 from the passion of the three musicians (Rocco Carbonara, Lycia Gialdi and Stefano Rapetti) for the search for the authentic sound of the instruments from which composers, from the Mozart era up to the mid-19th century, heard their own playing. works. Renouncing the greater technical convenience of modern instruments, we researched the performance practices and the timbre characteristics of the clarinets that played the music, then just composed, of the authors of the Classical Period.

Project "PARLA PIETRO PIANA"

with Rocco Carbonara, Clarionet Ensemble (Rocco Carbonara, Lycia Gialdi, Stefano Rapetti) and Francesco Carreras.

With a meeting held by Francesco Carreras and a concert with period instruments of the Clarionet Trio, the figure of Pietro Piana, one of the most important and refined Italian wind instrument makers of the first half of the nineteenth century, is highlighted. Born in Fornero in 1785, Pietro Piana began his prestigious business in Milan around 1811 and ran it until the middle of the century. He died in Milan in 1858.

During the talk by Dr. Francesco Carreras, a great expert on Italian wind instrument makers, it will be possible to see numerous clarinets and flutes by Pietro Piana taken from the Carreras collection and the Carbonara collection.
