  • On the Question of the Baroque Instrumental Concerto Typology
    Musica Iagellonica 2012 ISSN 1233-9679 Piotr WILK (Kraków) On the question of the Baroque instrumental concerto typology A concerto was one of the most important genres of instrumental music in the Baroque period. The composers who contributed to the development of this musical genre have significantly influenced the shape of the orchestral tex- ture and created a model of the relationship between a soloist and an orchestra, which is still in use today. In terms of its form and style, the Baroque concerto is much more varied than a concerto in any other period in the music history. This diversity and ingenious approaches are causing many challenges that the researches of the genre are bound to face. In this article, I will attempt to re- view existing classifications of the Baroque concerto, and introduce my own typology, which I believe, will facilitate more accurate and clearer description of the content of historical sources. When thinking of the Baroque concerto today, usually three types of genre come to mind: solo concerto, concerto grosso and orchestral concerto. Such classification was first introduced by Manfred Bukofzer in his definitive monograph Music in the Baroque Era. 1 While agreeing with Arnold Schering’s pioneering typology where the author identifies solo concerto, concerto grosso and sinfonia-concerto in the Baroque, Bukofzer notes that the last term is mis- 1 M.

  • Toccata Classics TOCC0202 Notes
    P GIACOMO FACCO: A VENETIAN MUSICIAN AHEAD OF HIS TIME by Betty Luisa Zanolli Fabila Facco is the composer whom I most admire: not only was he the last paladin of the pre-Classical, he looked upon the threshold of 1770 and didn’t perceive the ‘Baroque’ that encircled it. He projected himself towards a future unknown to him and which, a century after, was to be called nineteenth-century Romanticism. His ‘adagios’ and cantatas are the proof. Uberto Zanolli1 Giacomo Facco (1676–1753) is a missing link in the history of music, a musician whose work had to wait 250 years to be rescued from oblivion. This is the story. At the beginning of the 1960s Gonzalo Obregón, curator of the Archive of the Vizcainas College in Mexico City, was organising a cupboard in the compound when suddenly he was hit by a package falling from one of the shelves. It was material he had never seen before, something not included in the catalogue of documents in the College, and completely different in nature from the other materials contained in the Archive: a set of ten little books bound in leather, which contained the parts of a musical work, the Pensieri Adriarmonici o vero Concerti a cinque, Tre Violini, Alto Viola, Violoncello e Basso per il Cembalo, Op. 1 of Giacomo Facco. Obregón’s interest was piqued in knowing who this composer was and why his works were in the Archive. He went to a friend, Luis Vargas y Vargas, a doctor of radiology by profession and an amateur of music and painting, but he had no idea who Facco might have been, either.

    their pitch must have been close to the modern standard a 440 Hz. I am delighted to report, therefore, that this higher pitch is adopted in La Serenissima’s recital The rise of the North Italian violin concerto, vol.3 (Avie av 2154, rec 2008, 78 Ј )—even if, as the programme booklet admits, it is not what Locatelli would have expected in Amsterdam. For most of the music the violins are multi- plied three or four apiece, which raises another general question of performance practice: when are the accompa- nying ‘ ripieno’ parts in concertos intended for single players and when is it legitimate to use more? The solu- Downloaded from https://academic.oup.com/em/article/37/4/689/493954 by guest on 27 September 2021 tions adopted by La Serenissima seem perfectly accept- able, although it is hard to see how there could have been more than two to a part in Vivaldi’s rv 562a at the celebra- tory concert in Amsterdam in 1738, given that there is only one copy of each part-book in the set used on that occasion. Le Cène’s 1735 publication of Locatelli’s op.4 includes separate part-books for two solo violins and two ripieno violins, and the instruction ‘ un Solo Violino ’ for ripieno violin 1 at one point in no.9 implies that the part is expected to be doubled elsewhere. However, in the con- certo for four violins (op. 4 no. 12) the ripieno violin parts must be taken by single players — as is done on this recording — since they have to share part-books with solo violins 3 and 4 respectively (the parts are printed on fac- ing pages, piano-duet fashion).

His fame in the field of vocal music went far beyond his native Naples. Strong competition from Domenico Sarri, Leonardo Vinci and Leonardo Leo made Porpora look for success for his operas in Rome, Munich, Venice, London, Dresden and Vienna.

    P GIACOMO FACCO AND HIS PENSIERI ADRIARMONICI A VERO CONCERTI A 5, OP. 1: II CONCERTOS NOS. 7–12 by Hernan Palma The instrumental concerto probably appeared around 1670, most notably in two centres, Bologna and Rome. The earlier is probably the school associated with the musical cappella at San Petronio, in Bologna, whose most illustrious master is Giuseppe Torelli (1658–1709). His 6 Concerti, Op. 5 (Bologna, 1692), written in four parts, is the earliest collection where an orchestral sound is proposed, clearly differentiated from the chamber sonata; his Concerti musicali, Op. 6 (Augsburg, 1698), require a violin part to be played solo, accompanied exclusively by the continuo, giving birth to the solo concerto; here one also finds some recurring melodies or ritornelli at the beginning and end of movements, and sporadically in between them. In his 12 Concerti grossi con una pastorale, Op. 8 (posthumously published in Bologna in 1709), Torelli’s style reaches full maturity: the concertos are in three movements following the pattern typical of the Italian operatic overture, with ritornelli and episodes clearly differentiated. In Rome the leading figure was Arcangelo Corelli (1653–1713), who studied in Bologna for some years in his youth. His collection of 12 Concerti grossi, Op. 6, published posthumously in Amsterdam in 1714 but without doubt of much earlier composition, stands as a milestone in the development of the concerto grosso. Here one finds a four-part texture for two violins, viola and continuo. The string orchestra is divided between a small group, called concertino, and the whole group, called tutti or ripieno.

Early Opera in Spain and the New World Abstract It is not surprising that early modern opera of Spain and its New World colonies has enjoyed little chos larly attention, and there are several reasons for this. First, there are few works from the period to discuss. The genre’s growth in Europe came at a time when the Spanish monarchy was unable and unwilling to provide adequate financial support for its development in the peninsula. This lack of funding, in addition to a general rejection of the genre among the populace, meant that opera’s arrival to Spain’s New World colonies would be delayed as well. Second, with the large number of great comedias to study, the small number of operatic works, their perceived lack of quality, and the emphasis placed solely on their musical value, have put the genre at a disadvantage.

  • Introduction
    IntroductIon Six Concertos after Corelli Opera 1 & 3 H. 126-131 Geminiani’s first orchestral publications were two sets of adaptations of Corelli’s solo sonatas Op. 5 as concerti grossi, which appeared in 1726 and 1729.1 Although such arranging was said to be much despised by Veracini (see below) and scorned by Burney as “musical cookery, not to call it quackery”, these concertos were immediately popular with the musical public; in England John Walsh produced multiple reprints and they were re-engraved in Paris specifically for the French market. Hawkins claimed that the second set, based on the six da camera sonatas of Corelli’s collection, “having no fugues and consisting altogether of airs, afforded him but little scope for the exercise of his skill, and met with but an indifferent reception”;2 nevertheless these too were reissued in London, and reprinted in both Amsterdam and Paris. Geminiani followed this success by issuing twelve original concertos (Op. 2 and Op. 3, both published in 1732) before returning to Corelli in 1735 with a set of transcriptions derived, according to the title- page, from Sei Sonate del Opera Terza (but in fact including one sonata from Op. 1). This selection contained a substantial number of fugal movements, so Hawkins’ observations may have been taken to heart.3 Although Burney was convinced that Geminiani’s fondness for arrangement, revision and adaptation betrayed a shortage of new ideas and compositional vitality, he nevertheless was highly impressed by the quality of the Opp. 2 and 3 concertos which had appeared after the first sets of arrangements.
