An]4hing resembling present_ day existence was fiowned-upon, no ne€d for Schiller or Goethe, romantic colouring came on the hoot reat"life was out, decor was in, natue was permitted to revolt (earthquakes, floods, and volcanic la%), A composer like Mayr steered a cautious pathl the author of a Tc Deurn in honour of the Ihp€rial castaway cut his coat according to his cloth. Whereas his Cora (1815, based on Mafidontel via Berdadoni and Francesco Berio di Satsa) at the end of Murat in Naples encou.raged humanitarisr rather thao mlthological exaltatron, Fedru h Milan, five years on, like the Dahao aI,A Demetrio whi.h fiamed it, was r€tro.

Rossini lo1ew thls too. It was politic to ke€p on the side ofthe Gods and leave polemics to the The libetto he ohose for Fedla - musually fo. an old-fogy like Luigi Ronanelli - has a distinct concentratron. Hardly any ninet€enth century operatic libretto ever lived up to the play or novel on wlNh it was brled, but Romanelli's Fedl/l is something of ar €xception. Racine's famous play (16?r) is on€ ol the most fteezing experiences imagrDable, .eading Phadre's torment th€ pages drop ftom your hard. Even more frighdrl than that oflady Macbeth, the occutt destiny ofPhddre tums the reader to stone Under the aegis of MaF's music, the opeta reaches heighh not mworthy of Raorne, especially at its climax. For a moment Fedld achieves that kind of breatlless suspeNion, that utter psychic isolation which is the icy accolade of genuine ly$c tragedy.

Durante la grande ‘redecima’1 del 1661 indetta dalle autorità veneziane per il censimento fiscale dei redditi immobiliari della cittadinanza, il pievano della parrocchia di Sant’Angelo, bussando di porta in porta, registrava in corte dell’Albero un complesso di «case ruvinose» appartenenti a diversi «consorti». Di questi annotava pazientemente i nomi: il nobiluomo Vettor Marcello e fra- telli, discendenti del defunto Alvise e consorte; Piero Paradisi; Zuanne figlio di Giacomo Angarato; Vicenzo de Nobili «et altri».2 Un quindicennio più tardi, su quel fondo diroccato, Francesco Santurini quondam Antonio decise di costruire un teatro.3 La scelta era ben ponderata: il * Il presente articolo è frutto di un’attività biennale di ricerca presso il dipartimento SAGAS dell’Università degli studi di Firenze. Desidero esprimere la mia più profonda riconoscenza alla prof. Sara Mamone e al prof. Stefano Mazzoni per il loro generoso sostegno. 1. Se la decima era un’imposta a carico degli abitanti di Venezia e del dogado pari al dieci per cento delle rendite dei loro beni stabili, saltuariamente veniva indetta una ‘redecimazione’ generale, ovvero una rinnovazione dell’estimo che obbligava ogni proprietario di immobile a presentare alla magistratura dei Savi alle decime la denuncia completa e dettagliata dei propri redditi. Queste dichiarazioni di parte (‘condizioni’) venivano incrociate con il censimento degli affitti effettuati di casa in casa dai pievani delle varie parrocchie.

  • Mon Trés Cher Pére!1 [Munich, 11Th October, 1777] Why Have I Written
    0347. MOZART TO HIS FATHER, SALZBURG; POSTSCRIPTS BY MOZART AND HIS MOTHER Mon trés cher Pére!1 [Munich, 11th October, 1777] Why have I written nothing so far about Misliwececk?2 – – Because I was glad when I was free not to think about him – – for whenever he was spoken about, I had to hear how much he praised me and what a good and [5] true friend of mine he is! And at the same time, the pity and the compassion. They described him to me. I was beside myself. Was I meant to know that Misliwetceck, my so very good friend, is in a town, yes, in a corner of the world where I am as well, and yet I do not see him, do not speak to him? – – That is impossible! I therefore resolved to call on him. But the day before, I went to the [10] administrator of the Duke’s Hospital,3 and asked him if he could perhaps arrange from me to speak to Misliwetcek in the garden, for although everybody, and the medici as well, said that there was nothing more that could be passed on, I nevertheless did not want to go into his room, because it is very small and smells4 quite strongly. He said I was quite right, and said to me that he usually goes walking in the garden roughly [15] between 11 and 12 o’clock, but if I did not happen to meet him, I might send to have him come down. So I went to the Duke’s Hospital the next day with Herr von Hamm,5 Secretary to the Order,6 |: of whom I will speak later :| and also with Mama.

  • JOSEF MYSLIVECEKS BEMÜHEN UM DIE INNERE REFORM DER NEAPOLITANISCHEN „OPERA SERIA" Libretti Legen Ihre Zeugenschaft Ab
    SBORNlK PRACi FILOZOFICKE FAKULTY BRNENSKE UNIVERZITY STUDIA MINORA FACULTATIS PHILOSOPHICAE UNIVERSITATIS BRUNENSIS H 16, 1981 RUDOLF PECMAN JOSEF MYSLIVECEKS BEMÜHEN UM DIE INNERE REFORM DER NEAPOLITANISCHEN „OPERA SERIA" Libretti legen ihre Zeugenschaft ab Die vorliegende Studie verfolgt ein apologetisches Ziel. Wir möchten darin die bestehenden fortlaufend verbreiteten Ansichten zerstreuen, Josef Myslivecek, genannt II Boemo (1737—1781), habe die neapo­ litanische opera seria lediglich vermehrt, ohne zu ihrer inneren Reform beigetragen zu haben. Wir gehen dabei von den während der Erforschung italienischer Quellen zu Mysliveceks Schaffen angesammelten Erkennt­ nissen aus.1 Aus diesen Quellen geht hervor, daß Mysliveäek anfänglich an das neapolitanische Muster anknüpfte, seit 1771 jedoch die innere Reform der opera seria anstrebte. Im Jahre 1771 stand Josef Myslivecek mitten in schöpferischer Arbeit. Er hat bedeutende Erfolge auf italienischen Opernbühnen hinter sich, er ist Verfasser von zehn Opern2 — und ist im Begriffe, die elfte, II gran Tamerlano, fertigzuschreiben. Am 15. Mai 1771 wird er zum Akademiker in Bologna3 ernannt und seit der Zeit unterzeichnet er sich „Giuseppe Misliwecek, detto il Boemo, Accademico Filarmonico". In Italien gilt er als führender Künstler der Opernstagionen und wird mit dem Titel „Signor Maestro" oder „Maestro di cappella" bezeichnet. Der Titel „II Maestro" gebührte nur den hervorragenden Künstlerpersönlichkeiten; er kommt z. B. in Verbindung mit dem Namen Mysliveceks in dem vom königlichen Drucker Giovanni Battista Bianchi in Milano zum Karneval 1772 heraus- 1 Vgl. Rudolf Peüman, Tesori di musica Boema negli archivi Italiani. In: Vita cecoslovacca 1975, Nr. 2, S. 22—23.
