  • 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).

  • [STENDHAL]. — Joachim Rossini , Von MARIA OTTINGUER, Leipzig 1852
    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.

  • Rossini: La Recepción De Su Obra En España
    EMILIO CASARES RODICIO Rossini: la recepción de su obra en España Rossini es una figura central en el siglo XIX español. La entrada de su obra a través de los teatros de Barcelona y Madrid se produce a partir de 1815 y trajo como consecuencia su presen- cia en salones y cafés por medio de reducciones para canto de sus obras. Más importante aún es la asunción de la producción rossiniana corno símbolo de la nueva creación lírica europea y, por ello, agitadora del conservador pensamiento musical español; Rossini tuvo una influencia decisi- va en la producción lírica y religiosa de nuestro país, cuyo mejor ejemplo serían las primeras ópe- ras de Ramón Carnicer. Rossini correspondió a este fervor y se rodeó de numerosos españoles, comenzando por su esposa Isabel Colbrand, o el gran tenor y compositor Manuel García, termi- nando por su mecenas y amigo, el banquero sevillano Alejandro Aguado. Rossini is a key figure in nineteenth-century Spain. His output first entered Spain via the theatres of Barcelona and Madrid in 1815 and was subsequently present in salons and cafés in the form of vocal reduc- tions. Even more important is the championing of Rossini's output as a model for modern European stage music which slwok up conservative Spanish musical thought. Rossini liad a decisive influence on die sacred and stage-music genres in Spain, the best example of which are Ramón Carnicer's early operas. Rossini rec- ipricated this fervour and surrounded himself with numerous Spanish musicians, first and foremost, his wife Isabel Colbrand, as well as die great tenor and composer Manuel García and bis patron and friend, the Sevil- lan banker Alejandro Aguado.
