The fourteenth edition of the Massarosa International Piano Competition was presented at Spazio Fazioli in Milan on 16 april 2024. In the video can be seen the introduction by Luca Fazioli, followed by the speeches of Simona Barsotti (mayor of Massarosa), the Competition’s president Antonella Moscardini, the artistic director Riccardo Risaliti and of the pianist and writer Luca Ciammarughi. At the end of the presentation the conductor and pianist Michele Gamba, who is member of this year’s jury, plays Puccini’s ‘Piccolo Valzer’ and Riccardo Risaliti plays Paul Wittgenstein’s left-hand only transcription of the “humming chorus” from “Madama Butterfly.”
