MUSIC
Melodia per pianoforte
In the private archives of Ada Labanca, made available to us, we found the “”music cards”” of her grandmother, Adelina Orlando, “most noble student” of the San Pietro a Majella Conservatory in Naples. There are numerous manuscripts by composers not at all known. One of these is Franco Paolantonio, who dedicated several of his works to Adelina. The collection includes both handwritten music and pieces published by the Author during his lifetime. The interest aroused by the quality of the pieces, gave us the desire to bring this music back to light.
