The foundations of music were built upon simplicity: three chords. I tire of those here who seem to think that technical ability is the same as having a creative vision. There is no such connection. A good carpenter can build a house. Whether or not he can create a work of art is a completely different matter. The song is beautiful. I have not a care in the world how simplistic it may or may not be. |

| hidey (NZ) | Posted: Dec 02, 2012 - 23:52 This is a beautiful piece of music. Comparison with the greats is an unfair but inevitable fate for any contemporary composer. Can any classical music not be derivative? |
| midreaming | Posted: Nov 01, 2012 - 15:52 at some point we should prol'y step back, take in the wider view of us all navel gazing with some of the critique. This ain't Debussy by a long shot. But as a mood maker, across the wider canvas that = RP, it adds. |
| the_jake (on the sideline) | Posted: Aug 06, 2012 - 03:40 Here in the US, before the 2012 London Olympic Games began, P&G (Proctor & Gamble) used portions of this tune in some TV ads. The messages was something like "Thanks to the Mom's" and only flashed products pix up at the end before they put the company name up. |

| lui5 | Posted: Jul 30, 2012 - 06:48 Bellissima! Einaudi è magico. |
| tprimeau (Monroe) | Posted: Jul 30, 2012 - 06:45 Amazing, eclectic and with emotion. |
| the_jake (on the sideline) | Posted: Jul 05, 2012 - 16:59 Heard his music on some P&G commercials associated with the 2012 Summer Olympic games in London. |
| Sloggydog (UK) | Posted: May 27, 2012 - 22:54 If some of the rest of you want to forget Einaudi that's your problem. I won't be. A true modern master. |
| nicknt (Milan Italy) | Posted: Apr 26, 2012 - 05:27 The statement "In the same category as Satie and Debussy" requires no further comment. It may be a question of taste, but art has its hierarchies. Einaudi will be soon forgotten, as he deserves. If I copy Mozart, I don't become ipso facto Mozart. fredriley wrote: It's a question of taste, and plainly Einaudi's not to yours, which is fair enough. He is in the same category as Satie and Debussy, and of course Philip Glass. Personalmente, penso che Einaudi sia i coglioni del cane (come dicono qua) :o) |

| Blastcat900 | Posted: Mar 25, 2012 - 12:01 Hope he does make a sound track to a movie... wait.. I'd better Google him... I've given this a 7 because its a bit simplistic. I'd love more sweeping orchestral background and space. I do arpeggios like that all the time. The theme is nice. By the end of the song, I felt I was in an elevator or Homesense. |

Interesting, your saying that. I'd initially rated this a 9 and have downgraded it over time to now a 7. In other words, its appeal after the initial "wow" for me hasn't held. Satie & especially Debussy I can hear a thousand times and never tire. |

| Ears_of_Stone (Crushed under the hooves of the herd) | Posted: Dec 21, 2011 - 08:49 Thank you Bill for playing this despite the strong comments against. This music improves my mood and that is worth a lot to me. Solid 8. |

| timmus | Posted: Nov 26, 2011 - 14:11 You're listening to Andare by Ludovico Einaudi on Radio Paradise. Before that was Florence & The Machine, with "The Sun, The Moon". Before that one, we had what's actually a new tune, it's by Florence & The Machine but it's a cover of Ludovico Einaudi. |

| elcerrofeliu (Zaragoza) | Posted: Aug 23, 2011 - 22:17 The best!!!! |
| jitterjames | Posted: Jul 23, 2011 - 13:33 More like this please. I don't care how many notes there are, or how many times they are repeated. It sounds GOOD. I like the whole album, but I'd like to see Bill explore more of this, because he plays this OFTEN. FlatCat wrote: Wow. This song represents the largest divergence between my rating and the average. I absolutely hate this stuff. Every bit of it. The first three notes of Three Blind Mice, in minor key, over and over and over again with some very simplistic embellishments. The apotheosis of teenage angst. Glad everyone enjoys it. Flame shields up... |

| Andy_B | Posted: Mar 12, 2011 - 06:34 A musical virtuoso drifting through the pathways of his mind. This is actually a creative tone poem reflecting a mood, an ambiance. Nothing more, nothing less. No need to read more into the piece. Enjoy it for what it is. |
