Chopin

The book CHOPIN: SUNG NOCTURNES contains the lyrics of musical scores that the author-songwriter Luciano Varnadi Ceriello has written following the melodic line of the 21 Nocturnes by Fryderyk Chopin. The author has elaborated these lyrics whilst respecting the melodic structure of the famous Polish composer, therefore, with the addition of the literary part, he has transformed Chopin's enchanting melodies, into real songs (where every musical note corresponds to a syllable). The tracks have a delicious old style taste and they adapt perfectly to the fluidity of the songs, resulting in a wonderful relationship between the music and the literary text. The stories' lyrics are written in Italian because Chopin loved the beautiful songs sung by Italian singers during the 1800's, for this reason he didn't translate the words into English or any other language. The previously mentioned lyrics have already been included, in the form of poetry, in the novel CHOPIN'S SEGRET (Armando Curcio Editore, 2017) and executed for vocals and piano in the album ONIRIC CHOPIN (MAXSound, 2019). The novel CHOPIN'S SEGRET and the album ONIRIC CHOPIN, have received 20 awards.
