"Ilya Musin's masterclasses at the Accademia Chigiana in Siena, of which I had the joy and luck of participating as a student, were the most important experiences that I lived through during my conducting studies.

All the invaluable advice I received from Maestro Ennio Nicotra, then assistant to Ilya Musin, helped me to consolidate and mature my conducting technique; knowledge of the Musin method was fundamental to achieve perfect mind control and gestural logic.

Musin's school, which Ennio spreads to young students all over the world, is according to
my long professional experience, with all its simplicity, the most functional of the techniques. It allows you to
to be able to interpret any orchestral score easily and clearly.

What Musin taught me, and which I then explored together with Ennio, is all the interpretative intention in a sculptural way, of the event
within the gesture.

Thanks to Ennio's great work, the method of the legendary Ilya Musin continues to help everyone,
who wants to achieve a perfect mastery of the art of conducting."
