Paolo Restani's new recording effort, the result of a constant and very personal research work, guidesthe listener through various frameworks of piano literature, cornerstones of the history of music.

This journey into the dynamismof a fascinating universe of references and relationships ends with the performance of four Nocturnes byChopin (123and Nocturnes in C sharp min. Op. posth.) and, again by Chopin, the most famous of Polonaise,the Polonaise in A flat. Magg.
