Richiamare by Carlo Sampaolesi
Carlo Sampaolesi "Richiamare"
C25 single sided - Canto 43
"richiamare" is an attempt to create a bridge to the past, a connection between absence and precariousness as a vivid action of the present.
The French Suite No. 3 by J.S. Bach is a piece that accompanied me for many years during my growth and studies as a musician. It made me confront the difficulties of the instrument, the need for dedication and the tendency to reach a higher stage of awareness. Many years later, that same piece resonates in my memory in a different way. It has created its own space, in which the contamination of musical invention and memory merge into a single sound memory. If this work has stuck with me for so long, it is because I have never heard it again except in my mind, where it has gradually rusted away, like an object that has fallen into the sea. Playing it is like trying to resurrect that city submerged by the waters.
"richiamare" is an improvisation based on the memory of J.S. Bach's French Suite No. 3.
