Ludovico Einaudi
Ludovico Einaudi (born 23 November 1955 in Turin, Italy) is an Italian composer and pianist particularly noted for the use of developing melodious phrases in his piano compositions.
He began his musical training at the Conservatorio Verdi in Milan, gaining a diploma in composition. Later, he studied with Luciano Berio.

Although Einaudi would prefer not to be labeled as any particular type of composer, he is generally considered a minimalist.
"In general I don't like definitions, but 'minimalist' is a term that means elegance and openness, so I would prefer to be called a minimalist than something else." - Ludovico Einaudi

(2) Pianist and composer Ludovico Einaudi was born in Turin, November 23, 1955. His mother, also a pianist, would play for him as a young child, planting the seeds for what would become a fruitful, illustrious career. Einaudi studied under Luciano Berio at the Conservatory of Milan, graduating with a diploma in composition. In 1982 his talents would win him a scholarship to the Tanglewood Music Festival. The experience opened Einaudi's ears to new ideas like minimalism, world music influences, and aspects of pop music. He spent the next several years composing for the ballet, including Sul Filo d'Orfeo (1984), Time-Out (1988), and The Wild Man (1991). Einaudi turned a corner in 1996 with the release of his first collection of solo performances, entitled Le Onde. This record started Einaudi down the path toward becoming one of Europe's best-selling pianist/composers. 1999's Eden Roc and 2001's I Giorni, both for BMG, captured the solo piano world's attention, both remaining best-sellers for years to come. While seemingly at the top of the composition world, Einaudi ventured into the world of film composition, a journey punctuated by his Best Film Score award in 2002 for his work on Luce Dei Miei Occhi. Einaudi noted in interviews during that period that he missed concertizing, and began performing again regularly. New works blossomed from this effort, including 2004's Una Mattina and 2006's Diario Mali. 2007 welcomed Einaudi's seventh studio album, titled Divenire, where he was accompanied by the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic. The follow-up, 2009's Nightbook, was much more self-consciously reductionist, featuring solo piano minimally adorned with electronics, and saw Einaudi begin to be appreciated by fans of the "post-classical" school that he had arguably, at least in part, inspired. A double-disc best-of, Islands, was released in 2011, and at the beginning of 2013 he signed a new deal with Decca and unveiled the long-gestating In a Time Lapse, which had been recorded in a remote monastery near Verona and saw a return to a more "classical" chamber music sound. 2015 brought the release of Elements, which featured violinist Daniel Hope, the Amsterdam Sinfonietta, electronica's Robert Lippok, and Brazilian percussionist Mauro Refosco, among its several guest performers. Recorded at his home studio in Italy, it was inspired by nature, math, science, music, art, and how parts connect to form a whole. ~ Evan C. Gutierrez

Well, it's my time to honour the best people of my life. I used to call them "Dado" and "Dada", they were my neighbours, but acted as my grandparents. I basically grew up in their house, playing cards, eating a lot of bread and ham, listening to the stories of the WWII and how my Dado incredibly survived. They loved me a lot and spoiled me rotten, and everyday they reminded me how beautiful I was.
My Dado saw me doing my first steps, and my Dada's hugs were the only thing that calmed me as a baby.
Two years ago, Dado felt unwell and, while my mother was calling the ambulance, he asked me to visit him in the hospital, and I promised that I wouldn't have never failed that.
But he passed too soon, and I never had the chance to visit him, to maintain the promise.
He left Dada alone, and of course an old cancer she had appeared again, caused from the difficult loss of Dado. This March, she left us, and we couldn't go to the funeral because the Coronavirus situation in Italy.
My Dadi were everything to me. When I pass under their balcony, I can still hear his voice greeting me, and her silhouette going inside the house to open up the outside doors.
I miss them so much, but I am glad that our lives crossed.

I recently commented on another masterpiece: River Flows in You- Yiruma. Someone asked me to comment my thoughts about this piece, and I am glad that I have found another tear jerking piece lol. Here are my thoughts:
Soft. Quiet. Life seems so long and draining. The rain pit pattering on stone steps. People staring out of windows watching life go on without them. The rush of cars on a highway, a dreary and tiring sound. Crying silently in the dark. Stumbling blindly around. What is the meaning of all of this? Searching. Searching. Searching for so long but still not finding what you are missing...
Then a light? I see it coming closer. Slowly... quickly... and then all at once.
Stepping over stones, running through the forest, breathing in the fresh air. Falling off your skateboard and tearing your skin but getting up with a grin on your face. Late nights with friends talking, joking, and messing around. Kisses stolen in the rain and laughter echoing through hallways. Movies on repeat. Cliff jumping. Hiking to the top of a mountain and seeing the 360 degrees view. The joy of the first covering of snow and children's happiness of school being done for the summer. The crescendo building up joy, rising through the music. The rush of exhilaration. The flash of a million memories being made all at once.
But...then it falls again.
At the end of the day you are alone with your thoughts. The demons in your mind and the shadows that plague the world. When all has ended and there is a mist of hope: will you, yourself, grab on to it? Pull it in and embrace the soft tenderness? The swirling ups and downs of the music. Did the fog blind you or has it shown you the way? The energy, notes spiraling into the great unknown, yet the chords rooted in your soul. Will you let it lull you to sleep, or prod the wetness of your tears and wipe away the despair, allowing you to see for the first time?
What's that on the horizon? The setting sun beneath the clouds. The night bringing the stars into view. Thousands of them, glittering up in the heavens. Pouring liquid silver in an array of solemn composure and freedom. There is beauty in the darkness. And then...you realize that this piece itself its life. It's the tender moments and the heart wrenching high plucks for hope. It's the fast whirl of emotions rushing out as you speed through memories. And it's the silence after it rains. The drip drip dripping as trees deposit the rain softly onto the ground. Life is quiet then.
But...there is always going to be another roller coaster of pain, happiness, silence, love, propriety, darkness, evil, and cruelty.
And...
At the end there is this calmness.
Not at the end necessarily of life...but the end of what you have been searching for. Peace. Rest. The thing you were missing all along has been found.
You.
You have been found.

I learned to play this by breaking it down into sections and drilling one section a day for several hours, or until I was confident.
* Here's my method: *
Section 1 = 0:03 - 0:32
Section 2 = 0:33 - 0:56
Section 3 = 0:57 - 1:21
Section 4 = 1:22 - 1:47
Section 5 = 1:48 - 2:14
Section 6 = 2:15 - 2:59
Section 7 = 3:00 - 3:28
Repeat sections 1 - 7
(Finale) Section 8 = 5:42 - 6:17
I really hope this helps someone! Good luck!

Nuvole Bianche... in English "White Clouds", the title fits Ludovico's composition so well, tranquil, calm, effortless, floating. Ludovico receives a lot of negativity from the classical world due to his simplicity, though I think the simplicity of his work is also the beauty of his work. It's not trying too hard to evoke complex emotions or challenge audiences, it's creating a canvas for you to get lost in your own thoughts, and I think everyone needs a little bit of that sometimes. Hope you have an excellent Monday.

It sounds very much like a pop song, I can imagine a big time female pop vocalist singing this melody and it being a huge hit
