About "Toy Counterpoints", for Toy Piano

1-Moderato

2-Allegro deciso

3-Toy Dance

My toy piano works are the result of Antonietta Loffredo's incitation to write for this instrument. These are pieces for a 25 keys toy piano. It is a very limited register but i loved the restriction of write a score combining careful and detailed writing with the naif and magic sound of this instrument. 

Toy Counterpoints is dedicated to Antonietta Loffredo. The first (Moderato) and the second (Allegro deciso) were composed at 2015 and premiered by Antonietta at Risuonanze, Incontri di nuove musiche at Molfalcone. The third (Toy Dance) was recently (2019) premiered at Como, at The Music as Play Festival. While the second piece is a kind of Passacaglia with some jokes in it, the first and the third move in a magic-oniric universe, but Toy Dance becomes almost hypnotic, a kind of inner ritual dance.
