ITALIAN CAPRICCIO🎵

Virtuous Italians “fled” abroad: Cello capriccio by Giuseppe Clemente Maria Dall ‘Abaco.

The desire (or necessity) to leave Italy to seek better fortune abroad was a common denominator in the biography and artistic history of many Italian musicians of the eighteenth century and this “tradition” has been widely maintained also for most of the ‘800. European writers, painters, musicians were pleasantly obliged to “Journey to Italy” to absorb even just seeing and visiting the extraordinary beauties of Rome, Venice and Naples but the economic and commercial resources that allowed to spread, print and support their works resided in reality elsewhere. Paris, London, Berlin, Brussels were the places where poetry, theater and music were most widely published and where the market was more agile and less tied to patronal patronage. And it is in these cities where Italian musicians moved to give a boost to their professional careers and it is often thanks to the libraries of these cities that we can go back to the manuscripts of most of the Italian music of the second half of the eighteenth century and the repertoire in the program.

The personal and professional stories of this composer report the difficulty of establishing himself as concert instrumentalists in his own city and in Italy and then being acclaimed in the main European capitals. Giuseppe Maria Clemente Dall’ Abaco who was born in Brussels in 1710 was also known as Joseph Marie Clèment. Dall’Abaco he could be defined as a second generation immigrant because he was born abroad while his father Evaristo Felice was employed as a musician at the court of the Elector of Bavaria, Maximilian II and abroad he carried out a large part of his career as a cellist.

In fact, he too became famous as a soloist, success stories bring him back to Paris, London and Vienna and as Piatti retired to Italy in late age. In fact, he died in 1805 in Valpolicella, near the city of origin of his family, Verona.

The cello repertoire only began to develop right in the second half of the 18th century thanks to the compositions of virtuoso instrumental composers while for the first half of the century it had mainly played the role of basso continuo. The only exceptions are Domenico Gabrielli’s 1688 Researchers and of course the 1720 J. S. Bach Suites for cello only. full title to the repertoire for solo cello but they offer an interesting enrichment. These are rather short pieces without a precise formal structure, some very technically difficult and that is why Dall’Abaco chose the wording “Capricci” which always indicated a virtuoso composition for an instrument only characterized by a certain formal freedom and display of high instrumental technique.

CAPRICCIO ITALIANO

Virtuosos italianos “huyeron” al extranjero: capricho de violonchelo de Dall ‘Abaco.

El deseo (o la necesidad) de abandonar Italia para buscar una mejor fortuna en el extranjero fue un denominador común en la biografía y la historia artística de muchos músicos italianos del siglo XVIII y esta “tradición” se ha mantenido ampliamente también durante la mayor parte de los ‘800. Los escritores, pintores y músicos europeos se vieron gratamente obligados a “Viaje a Italia” para absorber incluso ver y visitar las extraordinarias bellezas de Roma, Venecia y Nápoles, pero los recursos económicos y comerciales que permitieron difundir, imprimir y apoyar sus obras residieron en la realidad. en otros lugares. París, Londres, Berlín, Bruselas fueron los lugares donde la poesía, el teatro y la música se publicaron más ampliamente y donde el mercado era más ágil y menos vinculado al mecenazgo patronal. Y es en estas ciudades donde los músicos italianos se trasladaron para impulsar sus carreras profesionales y, a menudo, gracias a las bibliotecas de estas ciudades podemos volver a los manuscritos de la mayoría de la música italiana de la segunda mitad del siglo XVIII. siglo y el repertorio en el programa.

Las historias personales y profesionales de este compositor informan la dificultad de establecerse como instrumentistas de concierto en su propia ciudad y en Italia y luego ser aclamado en las principales capitales europeas. Giuseppe Maria Clemente Dall ‘Abaco, quien nació en Bruselas en 1710, también era conocido como Joseph Marie Clèment.

Dall’Abaco podría definirse como un inmigrante de segunda generación porque nació en el extranjero mientras que su padre Evaristo Felice trabajaba como músico en la corte del Elector de Baviera, Maximiliano II y en el extranjero llevó a cabo una gran parte de su carrera como un violonchelista De hecho, él también se hizo famoso como solista, las historias de éxito lo llevaron de regreso a París, Londres y Viena y cuando Piatti se retiró a Italia a una edad avanzada. De hecho, murió en 1805 en Valpolicella, cerca de la ciudad de origen de su familia, Verona.

El repertorio para violonchelo solo comenzó a desarrollarse en la segunda mitad del siglo XVIII gracias a las composiciones de virtuosos compositores instrumentales, mientras que durante la primera mitad del siglo había desempeñado principalmente el papel de bajo continuo. Las únicas excepciones son los investigadores de Domenico Gabrielli de 1688 y, por supuesto, las 1720 J. S. Bach Suites solo para violonchelo. Título completo del repertorio para violonchelo solo, pero ofrecen un enriquecimiento interesante. Se trata de piezas bastante cortas sin una estructura formal precisa, algunas técnicamente muy difíciles y es por eso que Dall’Abaco eligió la redacción “Capricci” que siempre indicaba una composición virtuosa para un instrumento que solo se caracteriza por una cierta libertad formal y muestra de alta técnica instrumental. .
