'Per Piero' and 'Per Maurizio' are among the most recent pieces written for solo guitar by Gilberto Cappelli.
The first piece, written in 2006, represents a surprise present for my fiftieth birthday: it was written after a request of a pupil of mine, Alessandra Lucchi, who performed it as a premiere during my birthday party.
The second piece (2009) expresses the composer’s participation for the pain caused by the sudden death of Maurizio Biasini, scientist and guitarist who completed his musical studies at Cesena Conservatory where Gilberto Cappelli was in the Board of Examiners. The piece was premiered at a concert in memory of Maurizio held in the Bonci Theatre in Cesena.
The use of a particular tremolo effect is a typical characteristic of all the guitar works of this composer; a tremolo which is very different from the traditional one. The performer is asked to produce – as much as possible – a long and continuous sound, as if it were a voice or the long sound of string or wind instruments. The tremolo will have to be very dense and homogeneous. In the case of a tremolo on two or three strings it is necessary to start playing two or three sounds simultaneously only once and then continuing alternating them – but always tending to achieve a homogeneity of sound.

Classical Guitar Magazine (October 2011)
These two pieces represent the most recent pieces written for the guitar by this composer ... he employs the entire way through a particular effect: namely, that of a particular tremolo effect wherein the performer is asked to produce a long and continuous sound as if it were a voice or the long notes produced by a violin for example. Moreover, it has to be very dense and homogeneous and can include chords of two or more notes ... if you like music such as this, then give it a try. (Chris Dumigan)

... La scrittura di Cappelli è originale ... Il risultato è di contrasti forti e di materia che si modella, si plasma per poi ritornare alla forma iniziale ... di certo due bei lavori per il nostro strumento, che esplorano un lato della sonorità della chitarra poco conosciuto e battuto.
