Nicolò Giuliano Tuccia – a star in ascent in the shadow of Guido Agosti
A young man from Forlì has appeared, thoughtfully provided by the Keyboard Trust who have been asked to provide some of their Rising Stars to stand side by side with the ever generous City Music.
Empoli in Italy has been put on the map because it can claim the privilege to have given birth to Ferruccio Busoni. His family soon left for Bologna and Berlin where the child prodigy was taken under the wing of Franz Liszt and in turn continued the futuristic vision of music with which his master had pointed the way with genial inspiration in his later years in Weimar.
Forlì was unaware until recently that they too had given birth to a great musical figure and protégé of Busoni, Guido Agosti. He like Busoni soon left his birth place to seek guidance in the great musical centres of nearby Bologna and later in Berlin.
