Mirella Vita’s career was rich, fascinating and adventurous. In this book we discover the woman behind the harpist. She was more than a musician, she was a woman engaged with her time, and her life was full of purpose. In her path to perfection, she was an indefatigable seeker. It is thanks to the meticulous work of Mirella, who truly devoted her life to researching and reinstating totally unknown harp music, that all of us harpists can be proud of our repertoire. (Anna Loro).

Dopo quasi un secolo dalla sua pubblicazione, avvenuta postuma nel 1935, La Banda di Alessandro Vessella appare un immutabile punto di riferimento nello studio di tale disciplina. Il lettore che si avvicina per la prima volta a questo testo rimarrà sorpreso per la quantità di informazioni e documenti che si presentano ai suoi occhi. Una mole sorprendente di lavoro, frutto di ricerche che l’autore ha sapientemente svolto durante la sua vita. La Banda rappresenta nel panorama musicologico italiano uno degli esempi migliori di una generazione di studiosi che, agli albori del XX secolo, ha lasciato alla tradizione storica nazionale alcuni lavori insostituibili. Al di là della sua importanza intrinseca, quest’opera assume un rilievo essenziale configurandosi, nel vuoto di tale disciplina, il primo studio vasto e organico pubblicato in quell’epoca. Mirabile è il cammino storico ricostruito: si parte dalle origini dei primi gruppi sonori di strumenti a fiato per passare attraverso lo stato embrionale dei complessi bandistici fino a giungere all’evoluzione della banda ai nostri giorni.La presente edizione conserva la stesura originale, evitando interventi di natura contenutistica o musicologica. Tale scelta va nella direzione di conservare il dettato originale, pur nella consapevolezza delle moderne acquisizioni intorno a tale disciplina.

The Quintets nos. 1-7, 9 and the 12 Variazioni sulla Ritirata di Madrid, for guitar and string quartet, are not listed in Boccherini’s autograph catalogues, nor in the Catalogo Boccherini y Calonje, nor in the Catalogue Baillot. However they are mentioned in the Catalogue Picquot, and they have come down to us through three non-autograph manuscripts and three unauthorized printed editions of the early twentieth century. The documentary evidence establishes their authorship, their dating and the relevant musical source, as the single movements for the most part are transcriptions of compositions for other instrumental settings.The primary source of the Quintets 1-6 is ms. Wc, Washington (DC), Library of Congress, Ms. M. 574. B Case, olim M. 572. B65 Case [RISM A/II: deest]. Written in Madrid in 1811 by François de Fossa, it derives from a copy prepared by Boccherini for the commissioner of the pieces, Francisco Borja de Riquer y de Ros, marquis of Benavent, an amateur guitarist and patron of Boccherini from 1796.

Dediche is a series of short miniature pieces for solo guitar written in 1991 by Chiara Benati, an authoritative exponent of what can be called the School of Bologna, and who has devoted many pages of her catalogue to the guitar (Chiara won a first prize in 1986 at the Competition for Guitar Composition organized by the historic magazine Il Fronimo).From the point of view of the guitar idiom, it is striking how the compositional research of Chiara Benati (who does not play the guitar) has penetrated deeply into the nature of the instrument. In my job of adding the fingering to the pieces, I started from the precise indications concerning the strings already provided by the Composer, who meticulously imagined the instrumental result created by the play of resonances and the consequent precise distribution of the parts on different strings (let us think of the tremolos superimposed on different strings in the second Dedica and the counterpoint in three parts each written on its own musical stave), with a skilful use of glissandos and other instrumental effects.From the musical point of view, a similar meticulousness in writing is evident, shown, for example, by indicating the temporal separation between the figures by means of their spatial distance indicated in the score.The result is an instrumentally and musically rigorous writing which also helps the performer by appealing to his ability to empathize, following the indications written in the score and in the key, with the expressive atmosphere of the work, and through that specific aspect of controlled performance flexibility and sound sensitivity necessary to render it properly.These delicate miniatures, suffused with mystery and melancholy, and so masterfully written for the guitar, are in my opinion an important addition to the contemporary repertoire of the instrument. (Piero Bonaguri).

La ricostruzione qui proposta della vita teatrale a Bologna nel corso del Settecento si fonda principalmente su una approfondita ricerca archivistica, che ha prodotto una straordinaria mole di documenti, e sui modelli di studio dell’economia della cultura, finalizzati all’analisi dei processi di produzioni degli spettacoli commerciali e della partecipazione del pubblico.L’ambientazione a Bologna supera l’interesse locale, poiché la produzione in città risulta tra le più importanti del periodo, tanto per la quantità, qualità ed originalità degli allestimenti, così come per la rinomanza dei soggetti coinvolti: dagli interpreti agli scenografi, sino agli impresari ed agli agenti teatrali.Il saggio presenta una descrizione cronologica, rigorosa e puntuale, di tutti gli spettacoli allestiti a Bologna tra 1680 e 1796, collocati nella cornice politica, economica e sociale che li ha promossi o condizionati.

The Trois airs variés for violin and piano belong to the small nucleus of compositions for this scoring which, in the Catalogo tematico, also includes the Cantabile in D major (M.S.109), the only original manuscript piece for violin and piano recently published in a critical edition, and the Quattro Notturni a quartetto (M.S.15). This ‘triptych’, whose authorship is unknown, is familiar thanks to the nineteenth-century editions Ricordi, Pacini and Hofmeister, the only evidence of the piece which is placed in the Catalogo tematico at n. 3 of the uncertain works (Section V, pp. 346-347), that is, those works whose authorship remains in doubt due to the lack of objectively valid documents. This placing does not categorically exclude the originality of the piece, at least as regards the violin part, and that Gustavo Carulli ‘completed’ them later by adding the piano part. Given that to date there is no evidence to deny Paganini’s authorship of the piece, we rely on the editorial tradition documented by the three publications mentioned above and, of course, on the style of the composition. Regarding the instrumental aspect, the technical peculiarity is given by the exclusive use of the 4th string which must be transposed one tone above, in all three airs, including the variations. Concerning the piano part composed by Gustavo Carulli, it can only be said that it is simple and functional, aimed at highlighting the violin part, nothing more. Since the piano part is not original, the guitar has been thought of as the ideal instrument (as indeed is proved by Paganini’s considerable musical production for this scoring) to support the violin part and which is better suited to these small but pleasant pieces. In the transposition for guitar, however, the aim has been to include Gustavo Carulli’s musical lesson, where it is convincing, in other cases, however, the preference has been to find different solutions, while trying to remain within Paganini’s ‘style’ also as regards writing for the guitar. The present edition therefore seeks to be a plausible alternative to the previous editions, also in order to make these delightful but forgotten pieces more usable.
