Mozart

Category: Radio Drama (RAI)(1981)

During the early 1980s, I collaborated on a RAI radio serial dedicated to the life and music of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.

The production was written and directed by Tonino Accolla and broadcast as a multi-part radio drama. My contribution consisted of selecting and performing the musical excerpts used throughout the series, providing the piano performances featured in the production.

Although the music itself was composed by Mozart, my role involved the musical realization of the programme through the selection and interpretation of the piano repertoire.

The production represents one of several collaborations with RAI during this period, documenting my professional activity in radio broadcasting prior to my studies in the United States.
