The first activity concerns the realization of an
idea that I have already been having for different years: the recording of songs
of our land: Emilia-Romagna. They are recordings realized with the recorder,
wrongly considered an easy instrument and of scarce importance, played only to
the primary schools and then abandoned to pass to more important and considered
instruments. I have begun to play the soprano flute at the primary school, but
then I have tried to improve the
technique and the "way to sing" of the instrument, bringing
the soprano flute at my live concerts, ascertaining with pleasure that
was the same people to ask for pieces for flute. Some times I am called in the
schools to teach music and particularly the recorder. What I try to teach to the
boys is that such instrument is as noble as the piano and that it is not be owe
to relegate it to be played only by children to the primary schools, but it must
be seen equal to all the other instruments, because it has rather difficult
technical and expressive difficulty to overcome to arrive to "to play well
it." Are often the teachers of music same to underestimate the recorder,
allowing to shine through in veiled way their sense of superiority towards this
instrument... Giovanni & Andrea in recording phase
Another instrument that impassions me is the guitar, both classical and electric. This instrument allows me to play different musical kinds. I am working to the recording of some passages with the intent to realize a CD that will contain music to dance and from listening. I play the guitar from when I was 14 . The worth is of my friend and Teacher Ezio Gardella, musician exceptional instrumentalist. Thanks Ezio!!!
The Master Ezio Gardella Pierangelo Monici The music that I perform embrace different musical son-in-laws, from the classical one to the rock. How component of the band of the Quasars, together with the friends Andrew and Flavio, prefer decidedly to risk me in a melodic rock. The hard rock doesn't enjoy me. I don't have anything in contrary with the hard rock, mine is only a personal preference. Returning to the realization of my first CD of guitar, I enjoy myself realizing it with the help of Andrea. A song of this CD will be performed by a guest, Pierangelo Monici, great friend and irreplaceable guitarist.

Besides writing books, Daniel holds lectures and organizes historical-musical exhibitions, not only in Italy but also in the foreign countries; He is also organizer of lyric vocal-instrumental and chamber concerts. He is also a good performer of songs for classical guitar.
When Andrea and I work in study, she often enters, it lies down on the couch or on the carpet and it listens to all of our music. It knows all of our songs of the Quasars, It is a cat that participates in the life of the whole family; it has a particular relationship with my mother: they are perfectly in understood. Timba is attracted by the cartoons in television; now that in the study I have positioned a television to few inches from the floor, it sits him on the carpet and it looks at his preferred.

My
family and I have always had a depth love for the animals and them they
generously have always reciprocated. Don't ask jewels, suits or automobiles, but
simply food and, particularly, affection and love.
P.S. : I have not understood as Andrea yet succeeds to caress it on belly without making to be scratched... He is the only that succeeds ... |
