Dans la collection Mnemosis, Anne Fuzeau Classique presente le premier volume d'une serie d'ouvrages consacres aux instruments de musique. Chaque volume traitera de tous les aspects d'un instrument des origines a nos jours : histoire, facture, pedagogie, repertoire, interpretes, role dans l'orchestre et dans la musique de chambre. . . Le plan d'ensemble etant toujours chronologique. C'est donc le compagnon indispensable de tous les instrumentistes professionnels ou amateurs, historiens, musicologues. Ce premier ouvrage, consacre a l'alto, est l'oeuvre de Frederic Laine, brillant pedagogue, interprete et historien de cet instrument. Cet ouvrage presente, en une soixantaine de chapitres, un parcours chronologique de l'alto, des origines au XXe siecle. L'histoire de l'alto est singuliere comme l'est le parcours de cet instrument trop proche du violon, et qui pour cette raison a ete tardivement considere comme une specialite. Tout violoniste peut jouer facilement de l'alto, sans etudes particulieres, pense-t-on jusqu'a l'oree du XXe siecle. Ainsi, il parait inutile de s'y consacrer exclusivement et il est souvent considere au mieux comme un instrument d'appoint. Son histoire est donc ecrite par des violonistes qui le servent au gre des occasions, parfois avec enthousiasme, souvent sans grande conviction. Longtemps voue au second role, il va pourtant entamer, en particulier a partir du derniers tiers du XVIIIe siecle, une veritable quete d'identite qui va lui permettre peu a peu de s'echapper de la tutelle violonistique. Ainsi, grace a ceux qui ont percu la richesse de son timbre et de son potentiel (Bach, Mozart, Berlioz, Wagner, Richard Strauss. . . ), aux interpretes qui ont servi sa cause (Rolla, Urhan, Tertis, Hindemith, Vieux, Primrose. . . ), l'alto est aujourd'hui un instrument reconnu, desormais servi par une brillante generation d'interpretes. Cet ouvrage traite les differentes facettes de l'histoire de l'alto (facture, repertoire, interpretes, pedagogie). Il consacre notamment une partie importante au groupe (orchestre et musique de chambre), element essentiel de l'evolution de l'alto et du role musical de l'altiste. Il est complete par un chapitre anatomie de l'instrument (figures et glossaire des termes de lutherie) ainsi que par une importante bibliographie, des illustrations et de nombreux exemples musicaux. L'auteur: Frederic Laine. Apres des etudes d'alto au CNSM de Lyon et d'histoire de la musique au CNSM de Paris, Frederic Laine mene une triple activite d'altiste, d'enseignant et de musicologue. Docteur en musicologie de l'universite de Tours, il a publie en 2002 corpus pedagogique pour l'alto chez Mardaga, et a contribue a plusieurs ouvrages edites chez Fayard, Buchet-Chastel, Symetrie ou par la Cite de la Musique et les Presses universitaires de France. Altiste du trio Cappa, auteur de nombreuses publications pedagogiques (dont une ecole de l'alto en six volumes), il enseigne l'alto et la musique de chambre dans les conservatoires du centre et du XIIIe arrondissement de Paris et au Cefedem de Rueil-Malmaison.
