“Bach|Prince Vite Parallele” of Carlo Boccadoro won the #cartacanta award for the best book on a musical topic by an Italian author published between September 2020 and August 2021.
The jury made up of Franco Zanetti Marta blumi Tripodi Enrico Casarini and John Vignola motivated the award as follows:
“Carlo Boccadoro has managed to combine stories and music that are apparently distant in intentions and outcomes. He did it by finding not only – or not so much – structural or biographical affinities between two composers attentive to the artisan details of their works, but by telling, with great authority and without pedantry, how popular music is a bridge thrown towards the future, a issue of discipline and dedication, a continual rising from all adversity “.
