PIAM - Semi-final: Rameau, Liszt and Chopin

Acclaimed classical music talent scout Antonio Mormone (1930-2017) lives on as the name-giver of the Premio Internazionale Antonio Mormone (PIAM), awarded to the winner of the Italian music competition of the same name. The first edition of this competition, which was held in various venues in Milan from 2019 to 2021, was dedicated to the piano. As part of this competition, Leonardo Pierdomenico (Italy, 1994) performs Gavotte et six doubles from Jean-Philippe Rameau’s Suite in A minor, RCT 5, and Franz Liszt’s Sonata in B minor. As an encore, Pierdomenico plays Frédéric Chopin’s Etude Op. 10 No. 1. This performance was recorded at Auditorium Giorgio Gaber in Milan, in December 2019.
