Description: Pieces for proficient amateurs’ domestic musicmaking, these are modeled on the single-movement opera fantasy but, for those of you tired by such genre pieces, only two of them are offered here, the others being original creations. Candelabra-lit salons, melodic senteimentalism, dabs of virtuosity, you get the idea... Claudio Ortensi (flute), Anna Pasetti (harp).
