italian pianists

[tds]

just wondering if any of you know any distinguished pianists/teachers in italy, and where they live/teach. i am asking this question because i will be in europe from mid august to october for competitions and concerts, and wanna spend a few days worth of free time in italy, taking a couple of lessons from pianists i can trust.

been thinking of going for michele campanella. last time i heard him play in australia several years ago, and i was deeply impressed.

anyone knows who teach in imola, i heard there is a famous school in this city ( accademica pianistica.....or something like that? )

where does bruno canina ( spelling ? ) live?

is guido agosti still alive?

thanks for your input. and please, excuse my general ignorance, but i am too tired to check for spellings and facts. its late and i need to sleep.

If you is in Naples, you could checkout the Thalberg Study Centre, as they arrange masterclasses.

Their President is the Italian pianist Francesco Nicolosi.

take anyone you can get and visit the marble mountains when you can.  near rome somewhere if i heard right.  there's some fairly young guy that creates marble statues almost as well as michelangelo.

you've never touched a marble statue in your life, have you?  marble is a wonder.  almost as nice as looking at a fazioli.  i'm not crazy.  you are.  why go to italy thinking about piano.  you could have an icie.  you could sit in the fountains.  you could - ride around ona motorcycle.  you could pretend you were part of a tour.  you could buy a villa.  you could revamp it. 

believe me, an italian piano teacher is not what i'd be looking for.  if i were single like you - i'd be just wandering around looking at things and bumping into people.  italians love to talk. 

i think an italian piano teacher would be just too much for me anyway.  i can barely take good looking men who speak english.  i would just be staring with my mouth open and occasionally nodding.

but, i'd sort of like to hear about that thalberg conservatory - and maybe what scarlatti looked like (you know - a pic of his statue).  and, some editions in italian.  all we have here is dover, right?  there - they must have some kind of edition beyond the budapest.   is this right? 

don't forget to pack a red shirt.  buy some piano shoes over there.  i hear that they are the best shoes in the world.

btw, am sure i sent you a kiss. did you *clears throat* receive it?

[pianistimo]

i can't.  but, my thoughts are with you.

(i've never touched a marble statue either.  just marble countertops and once i saw a marble entryway.  it was really beautiful).

[tds]

i can't. 

why? explain!

wait,...never mind

(i've never touched a marble statue either.  just marble countertops and once i saw a marble entryway.  it was really beautiful).

why marble? flesh and skin are more artistic and a better turn on.

[bench warmer]

Ah, Italia....che belle ragazze!!!

[tds]

and that'd be?

sorry aint speak italian. i guess i knew a couple of italian words, like people start wishing me "bon voyage"...but, wait is that italian? well, if not then i know some real italian words, like "andante", "con brio", "presto"...see i aint too dumb

[pianistimo]

i'd really start worrying if he said 'che belle presto.'  (the girls are fast)  i don't think this is the case though.  that's all i know of italian - the musical terminology.  wouldn't help to find a bathroom.  at least learn that word!

or, what if you got over there and forgot to look up the words 'piano teacher' and went around saying 'piano forte instructoramente?'   *note - you can add 'amente' to practically any word and it sounds italian.

ragazza ----female
ragazze ----more than one female
belle-------- beautiful
