Germano embeds her personality into disparate musical forms and, in shaping herself, she discovers she’s unique and polymorphic enough to create real masks behind which the radiant face of the composer is hidden. Sobriety is the strong element of the author who holds back her feelings a moment before they overflow into melodrama and are tinged with pathos as in the splendid "We Suck."
