Nel settimo volume della sua serie Il Salotto abbiamo deciso di programmare I Petrarca Sonetti di Liszt – ma non appaiono in modo convenzionale. Piuttosto i tre sonetti vengono presentati in sequenza alternata con la musica dei contemporanei di Liszt, compositori le cui opere conosceva o conosceva. Di solito queste canzoni intensamente personali si sente nei recitals come un gruppo separato. In quanto sono tutti nella stessa chiave, questo può dare l’impressione che si scorre uno in un altro. Ma in realtà ogni canzone ha un testo e sentimento diverso e, nello spirito della la serie Il Salotto, abbiamo deciso di separarli con altra musica. Per varie ragioni, opere di Meyerbeer Saint-Saëns Poniatowski Federico Ricci Gomes e Verdi sembravano scelte appropriate.
