Towards the end of the 18th century musical instruments and approaches to One of the Italians to meet with particular acclaim in those years was unquestionably interpretation both underwent major transformations.

Written in 1820, the first piece single strings, abandoned the double string tuning typical of baroque instruments and is based on themes from Rossini’s operas Otello, Italiana in Algeri and Armida.

The outcome of all of this was what Carulli in his Metodo guitar used to play the Rossiniane was built by Gennaro Fabbricatore, the Neapolitan described as the “guitare française ou italienne”. luthier who had supplied Giuliani himself with an instrument, dated 1809. In During the first decades of the 1800s, the art of the luthier underwent further Vienna another important musician was Luigi Legnani, one of the foremost virtuoso developments, giving rise to various schools that in their turn embodied different guitarists, who worked alongside the city’s greatest luthier, Johann Georg Stauffer, conceptions of the instrument leading to divergences in construction, aesthetics and an outstanding innovator and experimenter whose work was later continued by his sound. son Johann Anton.

The pieces included in this recording are Anelli, a guitarist and composer from Turin who probably published these pieces in the Fantasia Op.21 and the Variations Op.9: fine examples of his true style, with its 1809.

  • References in Potpourris: 'Artificial Fragments' and Paratexts in Mauro Giuliani's Le Rossiniane Opp. 119–123
    References in Potpourris: ‘Artificial Fragments’ and Paratexts in Mauro Giuliani’s Le Rossiniane Opp. 119–123 Francesco Teopini Terzetti Casagrande, Hong Kong The early-nineteenth-century guitar virtuoso Mauro Giuliani (1781– 1829) was a master of the potpourri, a genre of which the main characteristic is the featuring of famous opera themes in the form of musical quotations. Giuliani’s Le Rossiniane comprises six such potpourris for guitar, composed at the time when Rossini was the most famous operatic composer in Europe; they are acknowledged as Giuliani’s chef-d’oeuvre in this genre. Through an investigation of the original manuscripts of Le Rossiniane No. 3, Op. 121, and No. 5, Op. 123, I consider that Giuliani, apparently in order to be fully understood by both performers and audiences, wanted to overtly reference these musical quotations; and that he left various paratextual clues which in turn support the validity of my observations. Utilizing both music and literary theory my analysis investigates and categorizes three types of peritextual elements adopted by Giuliani in order to classify and reference the quoted musical themes in Le Rossiniane for both performers and the public: title, intertitle, and literal note. Further investigation of these works also leads to the hypothesis that each of Giuliani’s musical quotations, called in this paper artificial fragments, can be considered as a further, and essential referential element within the works. At the beginning of the nineteenth century the making of potpourris was the quickest way to compose ‘new’ and successful music. Carl Czerny (1791–1857) stated that the public of that time “experience[d] great delight on finding in a composition some pleasing melody […] which it has previously heard at the Opera […] [and] when […] introduced in a spirited and brilliant manner […] both the composer and the practiced player can ensure great success” (1848 online: 86).

    REVUE DES DEUX MONDES , 15th May 1854, pp. 731-757. Vie de Rossini , par M. BEYLE [STENDHAL]. — Joachim Rossini , von MARIA OTTINGUER, Leipzig 1852. SECONDE PÉRIODE ITALIENNE. — D’OTELLO A SEMIRAMIDE. IV. — CENERENTOLA ET CENDRILLON. — UN PAMPHLET DE WEBER. — LA GAZZA LADRA. — MOSÈ [MOSÈ IN EGITTO]. On sait que Rossini avait exigé cinq cents ducats pour prix de la partition d’Otello (1). Quel ne fut point l’étonnement du maestro lorsque le lendemain de la première représentation de son ouvrage il reçut du secrétaire de Barbaja [Barbaia] une lettre qui l’avisait qu’on venait de mettre à sa disposition le double de cette somme! Rossini courut aussitôt chez la Colbrand [Colbran], qui, pour première preuve de son amour, lui demanda ce jour-là de quitter Naples à l’instant même. — Barbaja [Barbaia] nous observe, ajouta-t-elle, et commence à s’apercevoir que vous m’êtes moins indifférent que je ne voudrais le lui faire croire ; les mauvaises langues chuchotent : il est donc grand temps de détourner les soupçons et de nous séparer. Rossini prit la chose en philosophe, et se rappelant à cette occasion que le directeur du théâtre Valle le tourmentait pour avoir un opéra, il partit pour Rome, où d’ailleurs il ne fit cette fois qu’une rapide apparition. Composer la Cenerentola fut pour lui l’affaire de dix-huit jours, et le public romain, qui d’abord avait montré de l’hésitation à l’endroit de la musique du Barbier [Il Barbiere di Siviglia ], goûta sans réserve, dès la première épreuve, cet opéra, d’une gaieté plus vivante, plus // 732 // ronde, plus communicative, mais aussi trop dépourvue de cet idéal que Cimarosa mêle à ses plus franches bouffonneries.

  • Imperi, Giardini, Sepolcri. Ridimensionamenti Spazio-Temporali Nella Gerusalemme Liberata Di Torquato Tasso
    ÉTUDES ROMANES DE BRNO 30, 2009, 1 JOANNA DIMKE-KAMOLA IMPERI, GIARDINI, SEPOLCRI. RIDIMENSIONAMENTI SPAZIO-TEMPORALI NELLA GERUSALEMME LIBERATA DI TORQUATO TASSO Pubblicata nel 1581, la Gerusalemme liberata è un’opera molto complessa, in cui sono compresenti diverse concezioni di tempo e in cui la rappresentazione degli stessi luoghi a seconda della prospettiva temporale assunta appare densa di connotazioni filosofiche. All’analisi del rapporto fra il tempo e lo spazio rappresentati nell’epos tassiano vorrei premettere alcune elementari distinzioni relative alla concezione del tempo e dello spazio nel rinascimento. Nella sincretistica visione del mondo – elaborata nel medioevo su capisaldi del pensiero biblico e classico e perfezionata dagli umanisti – rientrano tre principali categorie temporali: tempo lineare, tempo ciclico ed eternità. Come gli altri ele- menti della tradizionale visione dell’universo, le tre categorie temporali, cariche di connotazioni filosofiche e religiose, formano un sistema gerarchico. Al grado più basso della gerarchia si situa il tempo lineare, ossia la dimensione temporale della storia dell’umanità e dell’esistenza dei singoli individui. Sia nel suo aspet- to collettivo-storico che in quello individuale, questa categoria temporale viene associata con l’irreparabilità (il passato non torna mai), con l’incertezza (non conosciamo il futuro) ed infine con l’instabilità e l’inanità delle cose mondane, sottoposte all’azione devastatrice del tempo. Nell’immaginario rinascimentale il tempo lineare trova il suo correlativo spaziale nel mondo sublunare, formato di quattro elementi che continuamente si incrociano e si oppongono gli uni agli altri. Mentre l’idea dell’inarrestabile fuga del tempo è uno dei temi più assillanti della cultura antica, l’idea del tempo ciclico, ossia il susseguirsi regolare delle stagioni e di altri fenomeni misurati con i giri degli astri, produce piuttosto un effetto ras- sicurante.

  • Guitar and Lute Music
    SOLITARY REFINEMENT Music for Lute, Vihuela and Guitar Welcome to the intimate, colourful and versatile world of music for lute and guitar, instruments with an ancestry tracing back thousands of years and a fascinating repertoire reflecting the physical and social development of the instrument over the past five centuries. The music represented in the following pages traces the instrument’s journey from the refinements of the early sixteenth century to the more cutting-edge characteristics it has inspired from 20th-century composers. Collectors wishing to assemble recordings by composer will find noted representatives of successive historical periods, including the English Renaissance composer John Dowland, German baroque master Silvius Leopold Weiss, the Italian classical style of Mauro Giuliani, 19th-century Spanish greats Fernando Sor and Francisco Tárrega, plus a modern international spread of names including Joaquín Rodrigo and Leo Brouwer. There are also regional collections representative of guitar music not only from the instrument’s native Spain, but also from South American countries closely associated with the development of the instrument’s profile in the 20th century – Brazil, Argentina and Chile, for example – plus gems from Australia and Britain. Alternatively, the instrument’s range of technical and expressive capabilities can be sampled by choosing from an extensive set of solo recitals by an international roster of distinguished performers, not least in our highly successful and ever-expanding Guitar Laureate Series. Complementing the instrument’s image as a solitary instrument are recordings of ensemble works for two and three guitars, for guitar and piano, and Boccherini’s quintets for guitar and string quartet.
