1717. Memories of a Journey to Italy
22 september 2018

Dit concert is al voorbij!

20:15u - 21:45u


Scaramuccia werd in 2013 opgericht op initiatief van violist en musicoloog Javier Lupiáñez met het doel minder bekend barokrepertoire te (her)ontdekken. Het debuut van het ensemble, op festivals in Brugge en Utrecht dat jaar, werd zowel door critici als publiek lovend ontvangen. Sindsdien speelde Scaramuccia op talloze festivals door heel Europa, verzorgde het in 2014 de wereldpremière van twee stukken van Antonio Vivaldi (RV 820 en RV205/2) live tijdens een uitzending op de Concertzender en won het de publieksprijs op de Göttinger Reihe Historischer Musik 2015/2016 competition.

Op dit moment is Scaramuccia volop bezig met “The Cabinet II Project”, een reis naar Dresden in de voetsporen van de grote concertmeester Johann Georg Pisendel en zijn manuscripten die bewaard zijn gebleven in de Schrank II. Het doel van het project is het opnieuw aan het voetlicht brengen van muzikale werken door deze opnieuw live uit te voeren, het uitgeven van bladmuziek en musicologische teksten en het opnemen van CD's. “1717. Memories of a Journey to Italy” is de eerste van deze CD's en wordt op deze avond aan het publiek gepresenteerd.

Over het concert (in het Engels):

Dresden. Pisendel

Pisendel was already a member of the Dresden Orchestra in 1712. In 1716 when Prince Elector of Saxony, later known as Augustus III of Poland, began his ritual training trip to Italy, he brought with him a selection of musicians from his orchestra, and Pisendel was among them. Pisendel used this trip to take lessons from the greatest Italian masters and to satisfy his musical curiosity. When he returned to Dresden in September 1717, his luggage was packed with scores and experiences. After that journey Dresden was never the same again; the Italian taste seized composers like Graun and Quantz and the binomial Dresden-Vivaldi was born, making Dresden one of the largest archives of Vivaldi’s music in the world, surpassed only by Turin’s.

Venice. Vivaldi
The Sonata RV 25 by Antonio Lucio Vivaldi is not only a work that demonstrates the originality and quality of one of the greatest composers of the Baroque, but it is also a valuable evidence of the special bond that was formed between the Venetian master and the young Pisendel. It was Vivaldi himself who copied and dedicated the sonata to Pisendel; in his own handwriting he titled: “Suonata à Solo fatto p[er] Ma[estr]: Pisendel Del Vivaldi” (Sonata made for the master Pisendel by Vivaldi). But Vivaldi did not complete the sonata and left room for Pisendel to add a movement of his own creation. Thereby, we find, between the notes written by Vivaldi, a slow movement written in a different hand, that of Pisendel. The musical piece showcases the close relationship that arose between the two virtuosos.

Rome. Montanari
The Sonata in E minor by Antonio Montanari was probably copied in Rome when Pisendel sought the advice of this great violinist and teacher of Vivaldi himself. Antonio Montanari was defined as “virtuossisimo sonator di violino” by the famous Pier Leone Ghezzi, and one of the great composers of the time, Giuseppe Valentini, praised his “merito impareggiale”.
Authenticated in 2005 as a piece by Pisendel, the Sonata in E major is a perfect exponent of the personal Pisendel’s style. It is very rarely performed, due to the relative novelty of the Pisendelian paternity of the piece, and also because of the difficulty of reading the manuscript, which contains lots of annotations and corrections. However, these corrections add interest to the piece as recent studies suggest that they were made by Antonio Montanari, making the composition a perfect example of the musical experiences of Pisendel in Italy.

Florence. Bitti

Martino Bitti is one of these great composers that have been forgotten but whose music really deserves to be rescued and performed due its beauty and quality. It has been very recently when musicology started to unearth Bitti’s work. Especially the recent work A Thematic Catalogue of the Instrumental Music of Martino Bitti (1655/6–1743) by Prof. Michael Talbot has shed light on some new discoveries of Bitti’s music.
