Sinestesie is a cycle of four works for piano four hands, bringing together classical interpretation and jazz improvisation. Conceived by Emanuele Sartoris with Federica Bertot, it invites two pianists to exchange their customary roles: the improviser reads a written part, while the interpreter explores improvisation using the scales and harmonic frameworks provided.
Sartoris composed and notated the music; Bertot developed its detailed interpretative approach, shaping the agogic and narrative character of the cycle. The volume includes introductions, an interpretation guide and an improvisation guide, explaining how the written and improvised sections connect.
The four Sinestesie are associated with fragrances created by Don Donato Ciniello, extending the project into a dialogue between music and scent. The work is dedicated to Federica Bertot, to Ciniello’s creative contribution and to the legacy of Alexander Scriabin.
Emanuele Sartoris is a particularly creative and original Italian pianist and composer.
He started studying piano at the age of 10, quickly developing a passion for blues and jazz. He went on to pursue his studies at the Turin Conservatory, where he graduated and earned his degree in Jazz Composition and Orchestration with highest honors.

He released several albums, including "Notturni" with Daniele di Bonaventura, which the magazine Jazzit named among the top 100 albums in the world in 2021. He has recently released "Inquadratura di Composizioni," a duo project with photographer Roberto Cifarelli, published by Paolo Fresu's Tuk Music.
Sartoris is also active as a music educator and promoter. He taught at the Turin Conservatory as a tutor and was a recurring guest on television programs such as "Nessun Dorma" on Rai 5. Lately, he has found the column "La storia del jazz" on the private television network Byoblu.
