The first CD Luigi Magistrelli and I made together was inspired by colors. Unforgettable Hues is also influenced by color -- this time those suggested by guitar sounds, which are delicate but rich in timber. I think that connoisseurs of clarinet or guitar will be wonderfully surprised by the sounds of this combination. The guitar and one or more clarinets or a basset horn are present in all the pieces. Two of the works were originally written for csakan and guitar and can be adopted for the A clarinet without transposing or changing any notes, already a common practice in the early 19th century. The csakan, a variant of the recorder or the flageolet, is said to have originated in Hungary. The Hungarian csakan was made from metal and was apparently adapted by Austro-Hungarian instrument makers to more closely resemble the West European wooden flageolet. Known then as the cane flute, the csakan was a very popular instrument between 1815 and 1840 in that part of Europe, after which it fell into complete oblivion. Whistling's Handbuch lists about 150 works for or with csakan between 1828 to 1835, thirty of which use guitar.

Il primo Cd che ho registrato con Luigi Magistrelli è stato ispirato dai colori.Questa registrazione è invece influenzata dai colori, questa volta suggeriti dai suoni della chitarra, che sono soavi ma ricchi timbricamente.Penso che i conoscitori del clarinetto o della chitarra saranno piacevolmente sorpresi dal risultato sonoro di questa combinazione strumentale.La chitarra con uno o più tipi di clarinetti sono presenti in tutte le composizioni, e il corno di bassetto è presente in due di esse.Due dei pezzi furono scritti originariamente per csakan e chitarra e possono essere adattati per il clarinetto in la senza trasporre e cambiare alcuna nota.Questo faceva parte di una pratica ricorrente all’epoca. Lo csakan , una variante del flauto diritto o del flagioletto, si dice abbia avuto origine in Ungheria.Lo csakan ungherese era costruito in metallo e fu apparentemente adattato dai costruttori di strumenti austro-ungheresi per farlo assomigliare più possibile al flagioletto dell’Europa occidentale.Conosciuto come flauto a canna fu molto popolare fra il 1815 e il 1840 in quella parte d’Europa, dopodichè cadde completamente nell’oblio.Il Whistling's Handbuch cita almeno 150 composizioni per o con uso di csakan composte fra il 1828 e il 1835, 30 di esse con l’ausilio della chitarra.
