Synopsis

Product Description
Peter Seabourne's incredible Studies of Invention forms the second volume of his ongoing piano series that already numbers four volumes.

This cycle takes its lead from the work and life of Leonardo da Vinci. The 15 movements span his art, designs, philosophical ideas, life and inventions.

There is an excellent introduction on YouTube by the composer.

MusicWeb international's reviewer described this work as "amazingly inventive", and commented that "the harmonic colourings and drive of these works call to mind someone like Prokofiev, and do not suffer by comparison: the Studies of Invention deserve a wide audience."

The performance is highly virtuosic and colourful. Though not yet widely known Giovanni Santini is surely a name to watch for the future!

Seabourne's website is worth a visit - www.peterseabourne.com . He is in his 50s and from the UK, holding several international prizes and with his work played widely across Europe and the Americas.
