Roberto Tagliamacco: Concerto per la notte di Corelli

In 2013, to celebrate the second centenary of the death of Arcangelo Corelli, I played in an official concert held in his memory in Fusignano, his hometown. Corelli did not write for the guitar, but a few of his compositions were transcribed by some contemporary guitarist and certainly his name has always been associated in the history of music with the theme of the very famous <> (although the origins of this theme go back a long way before Corelli). In the guitar repertoire, well-known cycles of variations on this theme exist. My long history of friendship and working together with important Italian composers has made it possible for me to build a concert program with some new guitar compositions dedicated to Corelli, to which others have been added. They are all together in this anthology, with the exceptions of Corelliana by Davide Anzaghi, Per Arcangelo by Gilberto Cappelli and Corelliana Seconda by Paolo Ugoletti, published separately.
The cover picture, specially created by Norma Lutzemberger for this publication, celebrates this meeting between the modern guitar and Arcangelo Corelli.

The four Valtz (plus a fifth in the Appendix, which constitutes the first draft of n. 3) for violin, published here for the first time in their manuscript form, although brief, are important musically since they add to the rich and varied catalogue of works for solo violin by Paganini. The pieces can be found within the manuscript of the Ghiribizzi for guitar M.S. 43. Their musical structure is simple, as is found in this genre of compositions and is mostly divided into a bipartite form (8+8 bars) with ritornelli. These are short but very pleasant pieces, in which it is not difficult to find the spirit of the great Genoese composer of small compositions.

In the second half of the 19th century, in Italy, melodrama was still the most practised musical genre, but space for instrumental production began to grow, especially thanks to the Quartet societies which tried to reduce the gap remaining compared to other European countries, offering it to the public with an energy which was certainly praiseworthy. However, they were not the only institutions where instrumental music was cultivated. In this context it must be remembered that music conservatories also played an important role, especially through the music recitals given by the best students. In one of these, which was held at the Milan Conservatory on 9 July 1884, the concert piece Andante e Polacca for bassoon and orchestra by Simplicio Gualco (1861-1942) was performed, a piece which aroused a great deal of interest as stated in the ‘Gazzetta Musicale di Milano’ of 20 July of that year. After the recital, the piece ended up in the Conservatory archives and was never played again. It was rediscovered recently, thanks to the research work on the composer by the musicologists Italo Vescovo and Flavio Menardi Noguera, both connected to the composer’s hometown.
