Leo - Ludovico Einaudi

[MariahWasHere10]

The worst part is...when the song ends. But the best part is...0:00 - 5:04 <3

[jaco44]

c'est une découverte

émouvant, superbe, grandiose, minimaliste...

comme il faut peu de chose pour faire vibrer les cordes du coeur, des émotions

[sueeeful]

Love all of Einaudi's compositions, they are truly stunning :)

[formaqueue]

I almost enjoy revising when he's playing in the background!

[9989126]

This isn't minimalism?

[etake04]

@9989126 That was my initial reaction! It's not minimalism in the strictest sense, I mean it's no Steve Reich :), but Einaudi said he viewed minimalism as 'elegance and openness' which fits..I'd say it's more about sparse and 'minimal' orchestration rather than the traditional definitions of minimalist music.

[9989126]

@etake04 I think that it is also down to the fact that he repeats a lot of his work but if it's down to elegance and openness then I would definitely agree!

Leo is used as a male name in Italy. Leo is the name of one of the two sons of Ludovico.

Ciao.

[missbethanthomas]

I love this music all it needs is Gianluca Paganelli vocals on it

[tennispro135]

i was ready to punch a hole in my wall 20 minutes ago, after listening to ludovico einaudi for the last 20 minutes, it's completely changed my mindset. thank god for ludovico einaudi

[taxfundi]

@tennispro135 I guess the wall is happy about that too ! ;-))

[venusia3]

Tu musica es mágica. Te hace volar!!!! Mil gracias por hacernos felices cuando la escuchamos.

[SYNTHPAINTANN]

the sublime music accompanies this carefully made short film , lending insight into the artist Ludivico Einaudi, and the very essence of life.

[5Hawkins]

For once people can't make the same old dislike comments because there are none! yay =D

[MikkiGothicLolita]

His son's name is Leo!

[thewigsterpig45]

makes maths revision a little bit less tedious :P

[MrHellYeah8]

2:37 i want a baby lion

[paperxknight]

I have the Una Mattina book - this is by far my favourite piece to hear and play in the whole thing. Beautiful.

[blacksoul55555]

My favorite by him.

[redryan12191]

Thank you "explosions in the sky" pandora station for introducing me to the most beautiful music my ears could hear!

[MrsVanderWal1]

My brother's name is Leo (I know this piece is about the animal but still) and I'm going to practise it so I can play it for him one day! (Hopefully not too far from now lol) I love and respect my brother with all my heart, he is such a great person, he has and always will be there for me when I need him, and is my best friend for life. What better way to express that then by playing this beautiful piece for him?

[beams93]

It's just something about Italy that gets to me...I visited Rome once, but even before then...I see their meticulously carved structures, beautiful paintings, so many good things coming out of Italy, important scholars, Ferrari, Bugatti, Prada, Serie A, etc; some people I met at a bakery in Rome, they seemed so passionate about their product...I don't want to generalize I don't know enough about Italy...I'm just intrigued by passionate people who take their craft very seriously like Ludovico.

[MrFinalheart]

Taking Italian II in HS and trying to translate some of these comments, failing horribly, LOL. Great song though. Molto bravo!

[BigpappaChris]

[LadyMeyesi]

beautifull............

[neverland333]

Pure beauty.

[Teclania]

It's a soud of the trepidation of the heart when a someone of fragile ,not necessarily little ,it's living and trying to live because someone wants so.

Just like a buddy that a person hopes to continues his evolution . Marianna Bonina

[missembar]

I am so happy I have found such beautiful music to work to. It calms you from within. Just beautiful :)

[DanielGarciaTF]

@missembar It's just the same for me.. :)

[missembar]

@DanielGarciaTF *smiles*...you have good taste

[materjesus24]

this is a really good song

[materjesus24]

this guy never disappoints me, all his songs are unique, I wonder how he does it?

[missembar]

He plays from the heart....Truly amazing creator :)

[vitalivt]

the name of his son is Leonardo.....

[kkoil1]

the title is named after his son, Leo.

[MatteMacPiano]

Are you sure? O_o You mean that his son is called "Leo"? What a terrible name!!!!!!

[kkoil1]

Yes, his son's name is Leo, and is why the track is called Leo :P .

[MatteMacPiano]

Well, i prefer continue thinking about lions, 'cause in Italy "Leo" is a name for a dog... O_o

Thx for the information!!! :)

[vivailpianoforte]

si, comunque è vero che un figlio di Einaudi si chiama Leo, lo ho scoperto un po' di tempo fa. La figlia, invece, si chiama Jessica (Einaudi, ovviamente!)

sono sciocco

[MatteMacPiano]

Sono atterrito.. E' geniale a comporre canzoni e dare loro dei nomi... ma in quanto ai figli... O_O

[vivailpianoforte]

in effetti...

e gli spartiti? finita l'odissea? è riuscito il nostro amato ulisse a baciare la sua terra?!

[MatteMacPiano]

Ormai la colonna delle risposte è infinita XD

Gli spartiti sono a postissimo, già stampati e pronti per essere studiati.. per ora sono riuscito a iniziare solo Una Mattina, però.. non un minimo di tempo..

[vivailpianoforte]

Eh, ti capisco..io forse adesso inizio "dietro casa", mentre da poco ho stampato "I giorni" che mi sono accorto di poter solo SOGNARE DI ESEGUIRLA data la mia estensione della mano solo di un'ottava ;-(

vabbè, presto vorrei fare anche "dna", certo.....se trovassi un violoncello non sarebbe male, dato che è il mio secondo strumento preferito!

Si bidimmusu, bagadiu!

[InnocentMalin]

Also, thanks for the information you gave.

Best wishes,

Anindya.

[MatteMacPiano]
