INTRODUZIONE La Serenata à 3, RV 690, nota anche con l’incipit «Mio cor, povero cor», compo‑ sta da Antonio Vivaldi presumibilmente verso la fine della seconda decade del Settecento, è dedicata al «Mar[quis] du Toureil». Nel 1982 Michael Talbot, in un articolo sulle serenate vivaldiane, avanzò l’ipotesi – accolta con favore dagli stu‑ diosi e fino a oggi mai confutata – che il misterioso dedicatario fosse identificabile con l’abate tolosano Jean de Tourreil e che il testo della serenata fosse l’allegoria del processo cui fu sottoposto per ordine del Sant’Uffizio romano a causa della sua affiliazione al giansenismo.1 Recenti studi, però, hanno rivelato che tra il 1715 e il 1726 a Venezia visse un certo marchese «Anna Marco de Torel», cavaliere francese, che nell’autunno del 1717 tenne a battesimo Daniel Mauro, nipote di Antonio Vivaldi, nato dal matri‑ monio tra Cecilia, sorella del compositore, e il copista di musica Giovanni Antonio.2 Il suo nome esatto era Anne‑Marc Goislard du Toureil e certamente questi è il «Mar[quis] du Toureil» citato da Antonio Vivaldi sul frontespizio della Serenata à 3.

  • Chapter Five
    Chapter Five “Having Composed Ninety-Four Operas” – Vivaldi as Opera Composer and Impresario (1713–1739) n 2 January 1739 the sixty-two-year-old composer wrote a letter that was hitter and filled with disappointment to his O patron Marchese Bentivoglio. It was written under the emotional influence of the crushing failure of his opera Siroe re di Persia, and contained the phrase “doppo 94 opere da me composte” (having composed ninety-four operas). Understandably enough, when the letter was first published in 1967 this claim to having composed ninety-four operas created some confusion since slightly fewer than fifty Vivaldi operas were known at the time.1 Was it conceivable that the scores of almost fifty operas had disappeared without a trace, along with all men- tion of them? Or had Vivaldi simply exaggerated the number of works he had written? It seems unlikely that these questions will ever be an- swered satisfactorily. Nonetheless, the figure Vivaldi names is entirely plausible if we include all operas he produced or with which he was connected in a significant way, including pasticci produced by him and revivals of new versions of his own and other works. After all, when Vivaldi wrote this letter he had been working in the theater for twenty- five years, and opera and opera business had been at the center of his activities for much of his career. 97 98 Chapter Five The Highs and Lows of an Operatic Career Vivaldi made his debut as an opera composer during the spring of 1713 in Vicenza, a city within the Venetian Republic.

  • Project "Anima Veneziana". Antonio Vivaldi. Biography
    Notes to the revised edition This chapter contains various supplementary observations on points made in earlier chapters. (p. 1) As predicted, new discoveries have not been slow in arriving. In 1978 Mario Rinaldi announced to the international Vivaldi conference held in Venice his discovery of the libretto to a lost oratorio, La vittoria navale, RV 782, performed in Vicenza on 8 June 1713. In 1982 I unearthed fragments of unknown Vivaldi works in the library of the Conservatorio ‘Benedetto Marcello’, Venice: two cello concertos (RV 787 and 788), a concerto for violin and cello (RV Anh. 91), a violin concerto (RV 790), a sinfonia (RV 786), and a Confitebor in B flat major (RV 789), as well as a new version for single coro (RV 795) of the familiar Beatus vir in C major, RV 597. All these were works supplied to the Pietà in 1738–9.1 In 1991 Peter Ryom reported finding a complete score of RV 795 in the Saxon State Library, Dresden; its earlier detection had been hindered by the fact that the manuscript bore the name of Galuppi.2 In the early 1980s two new violin sonatas (RV 7 and 785) were discovered by Maurizio Grattoni in Udine.3 The music of the flute concerto RV 783, previously known only from a musical incipit, turned up in Schwerin as recently as 1990. (p. 8) In 1982 the first volumes of the Nuova edizione critica (New Critical Edition) appeared.

  • Project "Anima Veneziana". Antonio Vivaldi. Biography
    4 Years of travel The duchy of Mantua, bordering the Veneto, was a flourishing centre of the arts during the seventeenth century. Indirectly, lavish spending on court entertainment led to the downfall of the Gonzaga dynasty, for the last duke, Ferdinando Carlo, being greatly in debt, was bribed into an alliance with the French during the War of the Spanish Succession. As Mantua was a fief of the Austrian Empire, this con- stituted treason; accordingly, the victorious Austrians made Mantua an hereditary imperial possession, appointing as governor the younger brother of the Landgrave of Hesse-Darmstadt, Prince Philip. For- tunately, Mantua’s cultural life continued much as before under Philip’s governorship (1714–35). The movement of musicians between Venice and Mantua was a two-way traffic of long standing. If Vincenzo di Gonzaga had lost Monteverdi to Venice in 1613, Ferdinando Carlo’s recruitment of Caldara in 1700 showed that the pull could as well come from the other direction. A period of service at even a small court like Mantua’s offered a musician from republican Venice a type of experience and a species of patronage for which his city provided no equivalent. It has long been known that Vivaldi spent three consecutive years at Mantua in the service of Prince Philip, since he wrote in his letter to Bentivoglio of 16 November 1737: ‘In Mantova sono stato tre anni al servìgio del Piissimo Principe Darmistadth’. Pincherle proposed the years 1720 to 1723 and Kolneder 1719 to 1722, but more recent research based on the dates of newly discovered librettos leaves no room for doubt that the period spanned 1718 to 1720.* Vivaldi’s position, as we learn from title-pages, was that of Maestro di Cappella da Camera.
