Description
This is the time of another poem by E. Montale, treated as usual with free improvisation of both piano and voice. Paolo, at the piano, had an idea of the verses, and was able to construct a coherent structure for his part of the improvisation.

Lyrics
Forse un mattino andando in un'aria di vetro,
arida, rivolgendomi vedrò compirsi il miracolo:
il nulla alle mie spalle, il vuoto dietro
di me, con un terrore di ubriaco.
Poi come s'uno schermo, s'accamperanno di gitto
alberi case colli per l'inganno consueto.
Ma sarà troppo tardi; ed io me n'andrò zitto
tra gli uomini che non si voltano, col mio segreto.
Maybe one morning, going through air of glass,
arid, turning back I will see the miracle being fulfilled:
the nothing on my back, the void behind myself, in a drunken terror.
Then, like on a screen, all of a sudden they will settle
Trees houses hills for the usual deceit.
But it will be too late; and I will go silent
among men who don't turn back, with my secret.

The Composer
Very nice work once again. The vocals were working very well with the
piano, the singing was quite confident... it was occasional sounding
unsure, but a lot more than thats expected since this is a free impro.
Only thing to be careful of is that around the middle... the vocals
started getting really loud. At the beginning of the song the levels
were quite nice and balanced... but the vocals had so much more
dynamic range than the piano and easily overpowered the piano
(almost clipping too I think). Some compression would've gone down
nicely with the vocals to even up the mix.
Great work guys
