What do two opera composers, Mayr and Donizetti, have in common with an organist, Father Davide? (His real name was Felice Moretti, perhaps the most representative Italian organ composer of the first half of the 19th century). Everything revolves around the piano, for two hands or four, in this selection of pieces, mostly unpublished, by composers who surprise us with a chamber music style that never fails to betray their love of romantic melodrama.

What unites two opera composers, Mayr and Donizetti, with an organist, Father Davide? (Born Felice Moretti, perhaps the most representative Italian organ composer of the first half of the 19th century). It's all about the piano, two or four hands, with this proposal of largely unpublished pieces by composers who surprise us as chamber music creators, who never fail to betray a love for romantic melodrama.
