Testimonials

I have been working with Michele Galvagno for the past 10 years. I love his attention to detail, and he will do anything it takes to deliver on time. His expertise and dedication have been crucial. The quality of his engraving is superb, and I trust him with all of my orchestral scores, parts, and chamber works.

With these few words, I wish to testify to the value of the artistic collaboration undertaken more than 10 years ago with Michele Galvagno.
The quality of his work is exceptional. His perfect mastery of computer subtlety allows him to respond to graphic requests of which few copyists are capable. Being an accomplished musician himself, he immediately grasps the issues of clarity, layout and space allowing the performer to feel comfortable with the reading and the composer to practically find the graphic components in his own handwriting.
Last but not least, its rigour with respect to the deadlines set to deliver the scores, in an often-tight schedule, makes him a highly reliable partner. I can therefore warmly recommend him.

Clean; beautifully laid out, accurate and ready to publish, print or distribute to musicians.

When it comes to Michele’s work however, this is merely the starting point – and these aspects (frankly) are a given. What is unique about Michele – is his incredible attention to detail; and a willingness to push himself. It’s his approach that these editions are part of a larger musical lexicon; and that this work serves a greater purpose in the community of music makers.

It is this shared outlook which (for me) has galvanised our working relationship.

The visual quality of a notated piece of music is the first impression a musician makes, and as a composer of new music – it is essential that musicians feel drawn into a score; not intimidated by it. The look of a score is essential in establishing a happy, curious and collaborative mood between a performer and a piece of music.

I can be absolutely secure in the knowledge that my music is handled with the utmost care and respect – aesthetically speaking as well as on a practical level.

Michele’s purposefully ‘old world’ approach means that my scores are served with a depth of knowledge that is exceptional. As a studied performing musician, Michele ensures that each note; every page turn; and every direction is clear and musical.

When Michele hands back a score I know that it will be ‘right’. It is an understatement to say he is an important part of my team.
What Michele offers – simply put – is more than typesetting.

He also knows the best places in Torino for great pasta!
