    LA GENERAZIONE DELL’OTTANTA AND THE ITALIAN SOUND A DISSERTATION IN Trumpet Performance Presented to the Faculty of the University of Missouri-Kansas City in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS by ALBERTO RACANATI M.M., Western Illinois University, 2016 B.A., Conservatorio Piccinni, 2010 Kansas City, Missouri 2021 LA GENERAZIONE DELL’OTTANTA AND THE ITALIAN SOUND Alberto Racanati, Candidate for the Doctor of Musical Arts Degree University of Missouri-Kansas City, 2021 ABSTRACT . La Generazione dell’Ottanta (The Generation of the Eighties) is a generation of Italian composers born in the 1880s, all of whom reached their artistic maturity between the two World Wars and who made it a point to part ways musically from the preceding generations that were rooted in operatic music, especially in the Verismo tradition. The names commonly associated with the Generazione are Alfredo Casella (1883-1947), Gian Francesco Malipiero (1882-1973), Ildebrando Pizzetti (1880-1968), and Ottorino Respighi (1879- 1936). In their efforts to create a new music that sounded unmistakingly Italian and fueled by the musical nationalism rampant throughout Europe at the time, the four composers took inspiration from the pre-Romantic music of their country. Individually and collectively, they embarked on a journey to bring back what they considered the golden age of Italian music, with each one yielding a different result. iii Through the creation of artistic associations facilitated by the fascist government, the musicians from the Generazione established themselves on the international scene and were involved with performances of their works around the world.

  • 1 Eighteenth-Century Music in a Twenty-First Century Conservatory of Music Or Using Haydn to Make the Familiar Exciting by Mary
    1 Morrow, Mary Sue. “Eighteenth-Century Music in a Twenty-First Century Conservatory of Music, or Using Haydn to Make the Familiar Exciting.” HAYDN: Online Journal of the Haydn Society of North America 6.1 (Spring 2016), http://haydnjournal.org. © RIT Press and Haydn Society of North America, 2016. Duplication without the express permission of the author, RIT Press, and/or the Haydn Society of North America is prohibited. Eighteenth-Century Music in a Twenty-First Century Conservatory of Music or Using Haydn to Make the Familiar Exciting by Mary Sue Morrow University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music I. Introduction Teaching the history of eighteenth-century music in a conservatory can be challenging. Aside from the handful of music history and music theory students, your classes are populated mostly by performers, conductors, and composers who do not always find the study of music history interesting or even necessary. Moreover, when you step in front of a graduate-level class at the College-Conservatory of Music at the University of Cincinnati, everybody in the class is going to know all about the music of the eighteenth century: they’ve played Bach fugues and sung in Handel choruses; they’ve sung Mozart arias and played Haydn string quartets or early Beethoven sonatas. They have also been taught to revere these names as the century’s musical geniuses, but quite a number of them will admit that they are not very interested in eighteenth-century music, particularly the music from the late eighteenth-century: It is too ordinary and unexciting; it all sounds alike; it is mostly useful for teaching purposes (definitely the fate of Haydn’s keyboard sonatas and, to a degree, his string quartets).

  • Espressivo Program Notes April 2018 the Evolution of Chamber Music For
    Espressivo Program Notes April 2018 The evolution of chamber music for a mixed ensemble of winds and strings coincides with the domestication of the double bass. Previously used as an orchestral instrument or in dance music, the instrument was admitted into the salon in the late eighteenth century. The granddaddy of the genre is Beethoven’s Septet of 1800, for four strings, clarinet, horn and bassoon. Beethoven seems to have discovered that the largest string instrument, essentially doubling the cello an octave lower and with the capability to play six notes below the lowest note on the bassoon, provided overtones that enhanced the vibrations of the higher instruments. In any case, the popularity of the Septet, which sustains to this day, caused the original players to have a similar work commissioned from Franz Schubert, who added a second violin for his Octet (1824). (Espressivo performed it last season.) It is possible, if not probable, that Schubert’s good friend Franz Lachner wrote his Nonet for the same group, adding a flute, but the origins, and even the date of the composition are in dispute. An indicator might be the highlighting of the virtuosic violin part, as it would have been played by Ignaz Schuppanzigh, who had premiered both the Septet and the Octet. All three works, Septet, Octet and Nonet, have slow introductions to the first and last uptempo movements, and all include a minuet. All seem intended to please rather than to challenge. Beethoven’s Septet was commissioned by a noble patron for the delectation of his guests, as was Schubert’s Octet.

Sinfonie er mit seinem Karlsruher Orchester uraufführte und dem er sein eigenes Streichquartett F-Dur widmete. Brahms nahm die Widmung hocherfreut an, da er Dessoff nicht nur als „guten Capellmeis- ter“, sondern auch als Komponisten schätzte. Das freundlich schlichte und heiter gestimm- te Widmungswerk ist mit einigen Brahms-Anlehnungen und auch ironischen Einschüben gespickt – ganz passend zum humorigen Verhältnis der beiden Musiker. So schrieb Desso ff an Brahms: „Auch erhältst Du in den nächsten Wochen die Partitur des Quartetts. Du wirst aus dem Titelblatt die Beruhigung schöpfen, dass Dein Name auch der fernsten Nachwelt aufbewahrt bleibt. Wenn Niemand mehr vom Deutschen Requiem sprechen wird, werden die Leute sagen: ‚Brahms? Ach ja, das ist der, dem das 4tett op.

  • THE VIRTUOSO UNDER SUBJECTION: HOW GERMAN IDEALISM SHAPED the CRITICAL RECEPTION of INSTRUMENTAL VIRTUOSITY in EUROPE, C. 1815 A
    THE VIRTUOSO UNDER SUBJECTION: HOW GERMAN IDEALISM SHAPED THE CRITICAL RECEPTION OF INSTRUMENTAL VIRTUOSITY IN EUROPE, c. 1815–1850 A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Zarko Cvejic August 2011 © 2011 Zarko Cvejic THE VIRTUOSO UNDER SUBJECTION: HOW GERMAN IDEALISM SHAPED THE CRITICAL RECEPTION OF INSTRUMENTAL VIRTUOSITY IN EUROPE, c. 1815–1850 Zarko Cvejic, Ph. D. Cornell University 2011 The purpose of this dissertation is to offer a novel reading of the steady decline that instrumental virtuosity underwent in its critical reception between c. 1815 and c. 1850, represented here by a selection of the most influential music periodicals edited in Europe at that time. In contemporary philosophy, the same period saw, on the one hand, the reconceptualization of music (especially of instrumental music) from ―pleasant nonsense‖ (Sulzer) and a merely ―agreeable art‖ (Kant) into the ―most romantic of the arts‖ (E. T. A. Hoffmann), a radically disembodied, aesthetically autonomous, and transcendent art and on the other, the growing suspicion about the tenability of the free subject of the Enlightenment. This dissertation‘s main claim is that those three developments did not merely coincide but, rather, that the changes in the aesthetics of music and the philosophy of subjectivity around 1800 made a deep impact on the contemporary critical reception of instrumental virtuosity. More precisely, it seems that instrumental virtuosity was increasingly regarded with suspicion because it was deemed incompatible with, and even threatening to, the new philosophic conception of music and via it, to the increasingly beleaguered notion of subjective freedom that music thus reconceived was meant to symbolize.
