I fundamentally agree with what you have well written. However, the failure to apply the Law on architectural barriers seems very serious to me; I understand that many times, famous architects, knowing (believing) that their work is more of an artwork than a functional service, manage to sidestep laws and regulations. But if Venice has perhaps more architectural barriers than any other city, I think it is obvious that we are not pursuing the spirit of the law. If I had to express myself, pretending to be at the bar, about the necessity of the bridge, I would certainly say that Venice has many other priorities, like the renovation of existing buildings and various enhancements...

@ALIA76: I don't want to be pedantic, but the clarification in the review wasn't necessary since the concert in question is for "piano." It seems to me that the review was already long enough without adding a section dedicated to the evolution of keyboard instruments.

@fusillo: the piano is the evolution of the fortepiano, but the characteristics and mechanics are the same. The leap was made from the harpsichord to the fortepiano, then, as PANAPP aptly said, it’s about modifications and improvements. It’s true that in the mid-eighteenth century the fortepiano corresponded to the piano, a piano that obviously differed from the one played later by Beethoven or, continuing on, by Chopin and so on until... Allevi!! aha haah, sorry...

@PANAPP: thank you for the comment and your mother's "charming" definition of classical music! Obviously, mine, that of many others, and many more wouldn't say anything too different. Ah, about Satie... I think I’ll gladly reciprocate the "points of esteem" if you put it that way.
@ALIA76: the first piano (at the time called fortepiano) was built at the end of the 1600s, but its diffusion started in the mid-1700s, right in the middle of the "classical" period. Mozart's concertos were written for piano. Bach's, for example, even though today we find performances on the piano as a solo instrument, were originally for harpsichord and orchestra.

@SCHIZOIDMAN: Gaber's quote seems gratuitous and somewhat irrelevant to me. This review has its own style, mistakes aside. And like any style, it can be debatable. However, the passion in writing it, combined with the wealth of suggestions and thoughts evoked by the album, seems to me to be truly indisputable.
