In addition to his world-famous film scores ('Godfather', 'La dolce vita'), Nino Rota also composed chamber and vocal music, with choral music playing a prominent role. The three choral pieces selected for this edition show Rota's characteristic melody and romantic harmony. Thanks to the low level of difficulty, even amateur choirs are able to sing the impressive pieces of the Italian master.

On Christmas Eve 1950, the Italian Radio broadcast a radio play based on Adalbert Stifter's novella Rock Crystal. The music was written by Nino Rota, the translation was made by Gabriella Benci and Ippolito Pizzetti (the son of the composer Ildebrando Pizzetti, one of Rota's teachers). Here, too, the duo carefully edited the existing piano version. With these two pieces, the piano duet repertoire has taken on a whole new colour, and both performers and listeners can plunge into the atmosphere of Rota's film music. Contents: I Allegretto, con intimo fervore * II Andante con moto * III Andantino * IV Andante immobile * V Allegro * VI Lento, non troppo * VII Allegro * VIII Andantino mosso * IX Mosso e leggero, appena rubato * X Andante sostenuto * XI Allegretto agitato * XII Grandioso * XIII Allegretto.

Both waltzes are based on the famous musical cryptogram B-A-C-H and were created in 1975. The very same year, Nino Rota was asked by Federico Fellini, who was just shooting the film Casanova, to write pieces he wanted to use for his film. Thus, Due Valzer sul nome BACH became a part of the film score of Fellini's Casanova and ultimately its main motifs. The third waltz in this series remained unfinished.
