Guglielmo Biography

Hi to everybody...
I am an Italian Composer and I play piano and harpsichord. My composition style is mostly influenced by the "Classical Era" but I am trying to put other styles in my music as much as I evolve with it. But I still will have as main influence, the classical one, since I love it and it made me start music.

--In December 1999 I started composing by myself, and without anybody's help...I used some theory books and I studied then from June-July until December, when I actually wrote my first pieces.

--In 2001 I bought my piano and I started some lessons with a teacher, to learn piano, and I did this until may 2002.

--From June 2002 to June 2003 I took some lessons in composition, but they didn't improve much more what I already knew. so I left the teacher and now I am still studying by myself.

--I discovered a very wonderful book written by J.J.Fux, and from there I am learning composition, since the second part is made as a dialogue between the teacher and the student, so everything is clear and easy to understand. If you have any question, just send me a message and I will be glad to answer to them.
Do you play live?
I like to play live, especially to improvise music on the piano when i do play my music and nobody can tell where i am playing something written or i am just improvising.
