Bocconian Ideas for Composition: Stefano Corvino’s Thoughts on Contemporary Musicmaking  

Stefano Corvino, Bocconi alumnus and author of The Lost Composer, presented his piano suite Korean Inventions, Op. 2 in a recording session held in Milan with Spanish pianist Juan Francisco Otón Martínez. Through his reflections on contemporary musicmaking, Corvino criticizes the excessive self-referentiality of parts of the avant-garde and argues for a return to music as emotional and social communication.
