The gift of composition has led him to seek ideas outside the normal parameters of the classical guitar. His principal aim has always been to create new compositions for the classical guitar, rather than adaptations of music from other instruments or sources.   He says “I like to implement and adapt ideas from the outside, mould them and make them a property of the guitar, rather than make the guitar a property of the transcription\". \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eAt the same time, Duranti turns this idea on its head by taking ideas that come from the guitar and adapting them to other musical contexts.  This is frequently his method in composing film scores or rock music. This approach comes from his early learning and family roots: his family were artist-artisans and had, as friends, opera, rock and classical musicians, painters and sculptors.  He has an enduring love of 60's and 70's music of various styles, including the most beautiful period of classical music recordings. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eDuranti says he does not seek originality in music, but believes in the uniqueness of a composition stemming from many factors, including the character and ability of the performer. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eDuranti’s ideas are underpinned by a solid practical and theoretical education: he describes a “progressive and passionate study of music theory and the guitar” at the Royal Conservatory of Music in Toronto under John Perrone and later in Rome under Mario Gangi.  As a schoolboy, he also learned to play the blues from a street musician, giving him another perspective on the guitar. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eDuranti’s music career has suffered challenges and interruptions which have obliged him to explore new directions.  He has made many original recordings, ranging from classical guitar to rock concept albums, and film music. He performed extensively in Italy for many years.  Duranti says “this long journey is not over yet - I hope I will be able to produce more works and hopefully leave something worth mentioning!”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eVisit Duranti’s website \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.marcowilliamduranti.com\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003ewww.marcowilliamduranti.com\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e for more information.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"duranti-five-pieces","title":"Duranti, Five Pieces for Classical Guitar I","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMarco William Duranti - Five Pieces for Classical Guitar I\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSolo Guitar\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct:\u003c\/strong\u003e PDF or Print on Demand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 16\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLevel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Intermediate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrder number: BE160819\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eISMN 979-0-706821-10-8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTime in the Past\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eThis is one of my early works that was originally written back in 1987.

They are also dedicated to a particular period of modern Rome starting from the 50s after WWII. The Preludes are a view of that Rome to which in part I had the joy to experience and feel. It was the city of the Italian cinema (Cinecitta’), we will never forget great directors like F. Fellini with his visionary dreamlike films or S. Leone with his spaghetti westerns just to mention two of them. So many great actors both Italian and from other countries came to Rome. Many made it their permanent home, while others reached glory in their own countries (like Clint Eastwood) thanks to Cinecitta’. Rome also represented writers, poets, painters, the Italian way of living with its fashion, food and exquisite taste for the “good life”. It was also the Rome of political unrest and social problems, the capital of Italy that still today takes upon itself all the responsibility of its past, present and future. The Preludes of Rome are my way of saying “Grazie Roma” thank you Rome, a small token of gratitude just like giving roses to the woman of your life! \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BERGMANN EDITION","offers":[{"title":"Self-Print (PDF)","offer_id":12319013437493,"sku":"BE-180726","price":14.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Print on Demand","offer_id":12319013470261,"sku":"BE-180726p","price":23.13,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0023\/1718\/9173\/products\/Duranti_Preludes_of_Rome_Full_score_Page1_0.jpg?v=1532609769"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0023\/1718\/9173\/collections\/MWD_photo_cover.JPG?v=1525207257","url":"https:\/\/bergmann-edition.com\/en-jp\/collections\/duranti-marco-william.oembed","provider":"BERGMANN EDITION","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
