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

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.

@Constant Throwing And when they come up with the unified field equations I bet it will be simple too. (not being facetious)

I listen to this to keep me calm because when I listen to this it feels like the world around me disappears and all the problems are gone

I love this song so much, but I canβt listen to it for more than a couple seconds before I start crying. Iβm 15 now, but when I was 11 I remember my mother would play this piece and it was always my favorite. Unfortunately, for my 12th birthday my parents were on their way home buying an old record player for my birthday when they were both struck and killed by a drunk driver. Hearing this song gives me a feeling that my parents are sitting by me and my mother is playing this song. Itβs amazing how powerful music is the bring back such vivid memories. I love this song so much and it bring me great memories, but also memories of my 12th birthday. The record player by parents got me survived the crash. Besides a crack on the top right and the lid broke off it still works. I havenβt been able to find a vinyl copy of this song, but if anyone can find one please let me know. I want it so my parents in heaven can see how much i appreciate them, their gift, and how much I love them. I pray for them everyday and hope they are listening. I even pray for the man that hit them because I couldnβt imagine how hard it is for him to live with himself after what he did. If I could ever be able to talk to him I would forgive him and Iβm sure my parents would look down and support me because my parents always told me βForgiveness does not change the past, but it does enlarge the futureβ. I didnβt really expect to write all this in a youtube comment, but I guess thereβs my story.

Gavin Schmidt Iβm incredibly sorry you had to go through something like that... thatβs absolutely horrible. Iβm very sorry. But just seeing the way youβve expressed yourself I can just tell youβre incredibly strong, I am so sure your parents would be so proud of you for fighting and moving forward. You keep going dude and you go far. With such strength only the skyβs the limit! I wish you the best life you can possibly have from now on. God bless you and please take care of yourself... π
