Ludovico Einaudi - I Giorni

Ludovico Einaudi (born 23 November 1955 in Turin) is a modern-day Italian composer and pianist particularly noted for the use of developing melodious phrases in his piano compositions.

He began his musical training at the Conservatorio Verdi in Milan, gaining a diploma in composition. Later, he studied with Luciano Berio. In 1982, he gained a scholarship to the Tanglewood Music Festival. He currently resides on a vineyard in the Italian region of Piedmont.

Although Einaudi would prefer not to be labeled as any particular type of composer, he is generally considered a Minimalist.

In general I dont like definitions, but Minimalist is a term that means elegance and openness, so I would prefer to be called a Minimalist than something else., Einaudi

Ludovic Einaudi has been widely promoted by ClassicFM.

A friend introduced me to Einaudi's work only a week ago and I am already learning this piece with my fantastic piano teacher who, when I enquired if she knew of Einaudi and his work, immediately sat down and played me three pieces! Inspirational! Thanks, Jane and Mariana!
