Lights On: Carlo Corazza’s Agosto (Sweet Massi)
Listening to “Agosto (Sweet Massi)” by Carlo Corazza feels like stepping into a golden August afternoon. The delicate melody immediately draws me into a world of warmth and serenity, a heartfelt dedication to his firstborn. This neo-classical piano piece resonates with me deeply, as it captures the essence of love and the simplicity of profound moments between a parent and child.
Corazza’s use of glissando techniques, inspired by György Kurtág’s Perpetuum Mobile, is both technically impressive and emotionally stirring. Playing with one hand while cradling his child, he infuses each note with a tender, personal touch that speaks directly to my heart.

The ambient soundscapes enhance this feeling, creating a tranquil atmosphere that allows me to reflect and find peace. The way Corazza intertwines his personal and musical narratives from August 2020 adds a timeless quality to the piece.
Listening to this track, I am reminded of the emotive storytelling of Ludovico Einaudi and the minimalistic elegance of Erik Satie. Corazza’s ability to convey deep emotions through simplicity echoes the delicate compositions of Claude Debussy. “Agosto (Sweet Massi)” feels like a personal conversation with Corazza, where he shares his most intimate moments and invites me to experience the profound beauty of life’s simple pleasures.
Overall, “Agosto (Sweet Massi)” is a serene, intimate musical experience that invites me to pause and appreciate the gentle, loving moments that make life so precious. It’s a testament to Corazza’s mastery of the piano and his profound ability to connect on an emotional level, making this piece a treasured addition to my playlist.
