This recording was conceived as a musical "memoir" in which Pagano plays pieces whose performances have evolved as he has through the years. Some of the pieces were first performed when he was a youngster, many were often played by his first teacher, Magda agliaferra, in their native Brazil, and the purpose of including them in this recording serves both as a memoir of the actual piece, as well as a "remembrance" of times past by the performer. Next to the grandiose concertos of Beethoven, Brahmns, Prokofiev, Liszt, Berg, Ravel, Schoenberg, Rachmaninoff, and many others, Caio nurtured the love for short, aphoristic pieces. It is Caio Pagano's sincere wish that the listener will enjoy them as he has enjoyed performing each of them.
