A transparent quartet, with my mind on the radio

On October 6, 1924, the Italian Radio Union began broadcasting in Rome. Thus was born what would become Italian public radio.

The first and second movements of Haydn's "Quartet, Op. 2, No. 1" were chosen for the inaugural concert. When you think about it, it was a curious choice for a country like ours, which at that time was still completely dedicated to the celebration of opera and moreover was immersed in the Fascist regime, which favored Italian composers and works. But this is what happened: for the first national radio broadcast it was decided to play chamber music by an Austrian composer.

Perhaps it was the clarity of Haydn's music, suited to the technology of the time, which was pioneering, still imperfect. Perhaps there were contingent factors I do not know of. in inventing this little quartet of mine to commemorate that date, I liked to think, in an imaginative way, that the choice of that piece was meant to emphasize two of the characteristics that radio, in its cultural version, still proposes to this day: honesty and politeness. I am writing this as a composer, but I could also subscribe to it in my role as a radio host (for almost thirty years, in between composing, I have worked in Italian radio), and I am sure I am not wrong. Because in front of the microphone it is impossible to lie, the voice betrays emotions, the listener understands on the fly whether you are really talking to them or if you are squandering their time with aseptic, useless words; and the best way, the right way to bring music, ideas, thoughts to the thousands of listeners is to deliver them gracefully, seeking exchange, dialogue, civility. Exactly as it happens in the quartets of the classical period and those inspired by it.

This little tribute of mine to October 6, 1924, composed one hundred years after that first radio broadcast, is therefore intended to offer listeners a moment of light, transparent music; and in the sonorous conversation of the musicians it tries to remind us how much more beautiful the world would be if we knew how to listen to each other and respect each other with the affection that music always knows how to offer us in an exemplary way.

(Nicola Campogrande, July 2024)

Very high quality suit for the price! Might as well buy, then rent.
Color: Deep Grey (Stretch Fabric), Size: X-Small
I bought this for my son for his Prom, as he decided to go last minute. He weighs around 125 pounds and is about 5'11. The XS fit was pretty amazing. As the supplier says, follow the size chart on the second picture. There is also some stretch to the material and the pants have belt loops. The only thing we noticed that we didn't like is that the sleeves were a little large at the opening around the wrist. Since the cuff-links are sew on, there isn't really on easy way to adjust this. All in all, this was a great purchase and I would highly recommend YND suits.

Good buy for sure.
Color: Burgundy (Stretch Fabric), Size: X-Large
The suit looks and feels great for the price I’m 6’3 190-200lb and ordered a size XL. I’m going to have the sleeve dropped a tad bit and waist taken in. The hem is perfect and to my liking. Will be buying 2-3 in the future.

We’re happy!
For the price, this suit was great. My son is a bigger guy and when we rent tuxes, the pants always look terrible. This one, we were happy with. He usually wears a 2x in clothes but we sized up to the 3x. He’s 6’2” and prob 270. Maybe more but the vest was still a little snug.

Caviar and Champagne look for a hot dog and beer price!!
Color: Black (Stretch Fabric), Size: Large
At this point in my life, my days of spending close to $1K for a suit are over. Now, more worried about saving enough money for retirement AND my two kids' college funds. So when I was invited to a "black tie affair" I thought, "Crap. I don't own a tuxedo and will have to rent." Calling my local tux rental shop, I was SHOCKED at how much a one-night rental would cost (average $150/night - yes, it's been over 20 plus years since I had to rent a tux but wow)! So my wife suggested I look on Amazon and see if there was something that might work. After seeing the reviews for the YND Slim Fit tuxedo, I decided to take a chance. And boy, am I glad I did!! I have been thoroughly impressed. The value for money is outstanding—this suit offers a high-end look and impeccable fit at a fraction of the cost compared to suits 10 times its price. The suit exudes sophistication and style, making a powerful statement. The attention to detail in design is evident, and the finish is almost on par with luxury suits that come with a hefty price tag. The fit is nicely tailored for an "off-the-rack" suit, not too boxy or not too "slim" (I'm 6'0, 190lbs, and purchased the 'Large'). The suit highlights the best features while providing optimum comfort. In summary, this suit is a true gem, offering exceptional value, a remarkable look, a superb fit, and style that rivals much more expensive options. Highly recommended for those seeking quality without breaking the bank.

Very nice suit! Pay attention to the measurements and sizing! It worked out great for a prom suit. It did come with a vest, tie and cuff links also.
