INTRODUCTION BY EDOARDO BROTTO

The Études Tableaux, masterpiece miniatures of extraordinary harmonic beauty, form, writing, synthesis, images they evoke, and… of extraordinary musical and technical difficulty. I don't want to add anything else; the music is wonderfully descriptive, and it is right for the listener to create their own worlds and perceive the paintings each piece depicts.
Although the repertoire is well-known to enthusiasts, this is a special album, and contrary to the standard, I will tell you about it in the first person.

I didn't have the courage to play the Études even when I was a full-time pianist, despite having Rachmaninoff's major works under my hands, including his formidable Third Concerto. Instead, I thought about studying and recording them when life became much more complex; engineer by day, pianist by night. I won't lie by saying that reconciling the two is easy; it's not. Playing at a recording level is already a huge challenge, adding a complex everyday job makes it exceptionally demanding. These lines serve as context for the fundamental concept I want to convey to those who read these words: it is possible to set and achieve seemingly impossible goals in an already more than full life. And I say this because it's worth it, whatever you choose. Challenges, won or lost, give us invaluable lessons, first and foremost about ourselves, about our limits which will consistently prove to be wrong, and then they give us a magnificent wave of new, broad-spectrum knowledge. What it takes is a good dose of unwavering will, a predisposition to withstand fatigue, sometimes suffering, and never to be distracted from the primary goal. And one more thing I write: never settle for learning, studying, challenging yourself, improving. Because satisfaction is the death of desire.

Now, regarding the particularities of this album, let's start with the fact that the piano used for the recording is my own: a wonderful Bechstein D282 that I call Albus. A lifelong dream, lasting more than twenty years, has come true. Albus was delivered directly from Berlin this April (2023), and its inauguration was the recording of this album. I personally oversaw the preparation and tuning of the piano for the recording.
Another peculiar fact is that I recorded this album myself. By this, I mean that I personally carried out the work of sound and balance engineer (microphone placement, balancing, acoustic treatment, and recording). I had in mind a recording that would be as faithful as possible to the sound of the instrument, extremely detailed and precise, with particular attention paid to obtaining a perfect sound image. The choice inevitably fell on electronics of absolute excellence, characterized by a linear frequency response and neutral timbre: Sennheiser and Schoeps microphones, omnidirectional and sub-cardioid for great presence and crystalline clarity, Millennia and Rupert Neve preamplifiers that guaranteed the least possible alteration of the native signal, and signal cables worthy of the mentioned components.
This too is the result of years of study, experience, and mistakes; a dutiful thank you goes to the valuable teachings of my producer Marco Lincetto, to whom I then left the finished tracks. Into Marco's expert hands, I entrusted the delicate phase of mixing and mastering, strictly in an analog chain, as I prefer. The result is a recording with a natural and impactful sound that, with a well-constructed system, brings the piano into your home, in all its glory.

Regarding the choice of pieces and their order, for a long time I intuitively imagined this exact sequence. It is a journey of sounds and images that developed in my mind exactly this way, which I particularly love and therefore, would not require further illustration. Nevertheless, I add that as a person who naturally perceives and imagines abstract worlds, beyond the images these picture-pieces evoke, their sequence, to explain it in understandable words, reminds me of a beautiful iteration of sinusoidal functions in three spatial dimensions and one temporal, translatable into a sheet of pure space that moves sinuously, sometimes enveloping you, interspersed with moments of great impetus and others of deep reflection, sometimes dismayed, but in any case intimate. In light of the complete recording, having extracted these twelve pieces in this exact order has only confirmed that intuition I had long ago. I recommend listening straight through to best understand what is written above.

Rachmaninoff and I.
The entire booklet could be dedicated solely to this topic. Simply put, to conclude, his music is my musical soulmate. I have dedicated the last fifteen years to studying and playing his works. His language is so much a part of me that I recorded an entire album (Within & Without – Homage to Rakhmaninov) which collects a series of my original compositions dedicated to the great master. With this one, however, I want to pay tribute to him again by playing his music, to celebrate the 150th anniversary of his birth.

Pampers Baby Dry are actually good again! Major upgrade.
Size: Size 3, Unit Count: 168
I’ve used Baby Dry off and on for a while, but the new “improved” version is a huge step up from the old design. They used to feel kind of generic, thin, boxy, and not great for active toddlers, but now they’re a real contender next to Swaddlers and Huggies Little Movers. What’s new: • The shape is much more like Swaddlers, snugger around the hips and legs, less floppy in the front. • Tabs are noticeably stronger and stretchier. • The inside has a new ultra cushiony top layer that feels soft and plush, not papery. • They seem to have a slightly faster and more even absorbency, too. • Still the same cute Sesame Street prints and blue inner layer, but the overall fit and quality feel more “premium.” Size-wise, the new Baby Dry run a bit larger than Huggies size 3 but a touch smaller than Swaddlers size 3 so a great in-between fit. For parents like us who can’t use 360-style pull-ons at daycare, these are perfect. They have tabs, fit toddlers well, and hold up to big pees without the sag or stiffness the old Baby Dry had. Bottom line: a big win for Pampers these finally feel like a proper toddler diaper, not an expensive generic. Highly recommend giving them another try if you haven’t used them recently!

Reliable overnight protection with minimal leaks
Size: Size 6, Unit Count: 112
These have been very reliable for overnight use. They hold a lot without leaking, even after a full night of sleep. The fit is secure around the legs and waist without leaving marks. I also appreciate that they don’t have a strong scent. Compared to other brands I’ve tried, these seem to last longer before needing a change. Only minor downside is they can feel a bit bulky when very full, but that’s expected for the absorbency.

Just works for us!
Size: Size 1, Unit Count: 44
Had to transfer from Huggies and Pura because our son kept leaking through those, despite trying all the tips and tricks. Needless to say we’re really pleased with these! They’re WAY more absorbent. Only downside is that it’s not designed for sensitive skin, but diaper rash cream always does the trick for our little guy

Outstanding, top of the line diaper!
Size: Size 1, Unit Count: 252
We normally use Huggies Little Movers with our 3.5 year old (nothing against them, they're also great diapers) but recently decided to give Swaddlers a try, and will not be going back. This is a top-of-the-line diaper and excels in all ways. We use a size 7 though could *probably* get away with a size 6, and use about 4-5 diapers a day on average (not including his overnight diaper) depending on how much he's had to drink and how often he poops -usually once a day, but could be as many as 3 times, especially if he doesn't go one day. The first thing you notice about these diapers is how soft they are. I mean, they just feel like they would be comfortable on a child, and since they're in them practically 24/7, that's important. The diaper is mostly white, and the overall designs are more muted than a lot of other diapers, with "Shilo and Friends" -an elephant and duck - on the front and back. I personally wouldn't mind something bolder, I don't think my child cares or even notices. There is a wetness indicator that goes down the length of the diaper, front and back. Nice to have I suppose for a caregiver who maybe doesn't change a lot of diapers, but at this age and stage, it's easy to know and tell. Like all Pampers diapers, they are scented. I happen to love the gentle powder-like scent, but it's a turn-off to some who describe it as too strong, and of course, if your child is sensitive to that, you may want to avoid Pampers diapers. Inside, the top sheet liner keeps his skin dry, even when he wets heavily -which is usually - and does a good job of keeping poop from sticking to his bottom. The "blowout barrier" in the back also helps contain any messes. In terms of absorbency, I'm pretty amazed at how much they can hold. Being a little older, he tends to stay drier for longer periods and then pee a larger amount at one time, but the diaper almost always holds it in, and leaks are rare. The one thing I wish that Pampers did do was have wider tapes, like Huggies, at least on the larger sizes, where kids are more active. It hasn't been a problem, so I don't really have a reason for saying that, other than that it seems like it would help with fit, but it certainly won't keep me from buying or using them in the future.
