The concerto for viola, string orchestra and kettle-drums by the Italian composer Alessandro Appignani is a unique concert in the history of this noble instrument. Alessandro Appignani wrote the concerto in 2005 dedicating it to the violist Danilo Rossi (renowned soloist, as well as the first viola of the teatro alla Scala ), a concerto that had its world premiere in 2008 in Città Sant'Angelo within the concert series "centri storici in musica “; the concerto is divided into three stages: Sakura, Celvm stellatvm, Caerimonialis, it comes totally from an improvisation written on the piano and orchestrated later, without subsequently changing even a note to give space to instinct and emotion, trusting in creative force that generates primal thoughts.
