The piece was composed in 2018 and premiered on October 20th of the same year at the Teatro Comunale di Bologna, Italy. The composition consists of six movements, each representing a different hour of the day, from 6 PM to midnight. The first movement, "Six O'Clock," is characterized by a lively and energetic melody played on the piano, accompanied by strings and percussion. The second movement, "Seven O'Clock," is more subdued, with a slower tempo and a melancholic melody played on the cello. The third movement, "Eight O'Clock," is more upbeat, with a jazzy piano melody and a lively rhythm section. The fourth movement, "Nine O'Clock," is characterized by a haunting melody played on the violin, accompanied by a sparse piano accompaniment. The fifth movement, "Ten O'Clock," is more experimental, with dissonant chords and unconventional rhythms. The final movement, "Midnight," is the most dramatic and intense, with a powerful piano melody and a full orchestral accompaniment. Overall, "Six to Midnight" is a dynamic and engaging composition that showcases Valente's skill as a composer and pianist. The piece combines elements of classical, jazz, and experimental music to create a unique and compelling sound.
