| Added by anan, 08 Mar 2019 The name Colloredo immediately suggests, to those who have practiced with the history of music, the archbishop of Salzburg, patron of Wolfang Amadeus Mozart. The character to whom the title of this composition refers is obviously another: it could be the count Rodolfo Colloredo, at the service of Archduke Ferdinand of Hapsburg during the Thirty Years' War (quoted by Alessandro Manzoni in chapter XXX of the “Promessi Sposi”), or his brother Federico, leader of the Spanish troops in the Duchy of Milan. The theme used by Fantini would then resume a motif that was usually proposed by trumpeters during military parades, passed to memory under the name of the most prominent officer in the hierarchy. | |||
