"Invocazione for piano" is a solo piano piece composed by Francesco Cilèa, an Italian composer and conductor. The piece was composed in 1906 and premiered the same year in Milan, Italy. The piece is divided into three movements, each with its own distinct characteristics. The first movement, marked "Andante espressivo," is characterized by its lyrical and expressive melody. The second movement, marked "Allegro con fuoco," is much more energetic and virtuosic, with rapid runs and arpeggios. The final movement, marked "Andante sostenuto," returns to the lyrical and expressive style of the first movement, but with a more subdued and introspective character. Overall, "Invocazione for piano" is a beautiful and challenging piece that showcases Cilèa's skill as a composer. The piece is notable for its use of expressive melodies and virtuosic passages, as well as its ability to evoke a range of emotions in the listener. It remains a popular choice for pianists today, and is often performed in recitals and competitions.
