Backgrounds and foregrounds II, by Sonia Arienta

The background is an objective element, big screen where the time of the (hi)Story flows, while the foreground focalises the attention towards details, where the individual acts. The background receives the time flux; the foreground describes the instant’s particular aspect, the plot’s development. Backclothes descriptions take allegorical characteristics, they delineate an objective “commentary”, the world nearby the individual intimate, private dimension. In Guillaume Tell first scene, the title role’s home is setted in foreground, nearby the torrent and other village’s houses; in the last scene it appears faraway, enveloped by flames, sign of extreme help’s request transmitted by Gemmy to Swiss countrymen. This house’s recession toward the foreground is a sort of warning concerning the renunciation of individual good in favour of the common one: the sacrifice of Tell’s home permits to free the Country from the tyrant’s arrogance.

Coming soon in music stores and digital

From May 7. 2012 you will find in all music stores and digital the new album of  Danilo Rossi and Stefano Bezziccheri, “La viola romantica” (CD+DVD).
Continue the valuable collaboration between Limenmusic and two leading musicians, First Viola Soloist of La Scala Theatre in Milan, M° Danilo Rossi and the pianist Stefano Bezziccheri.
In this third volume they proposed to the public a repertoire organized around the theme of romanticism, an adjective that over time has been subject of so intense historical debates and critical ambiguities.
Here are the executions of three authors who, while remaining distant musically and personally, are linked by the use of the same romantic language: Schumann, Schubert and Glinka: a very close and continuous dialogue between soloist and accompaniment able, once again, to create a slow and thoughtful atmosphere.

Backgrounds and foregrounds I, by Sonia Arienta

In opera’s exterior scenes the landscape can include different categories of images, connected to urban or natural space; they also can show or not a wide-ranging view. In interiors scenes, the glimpse over the world is trimmed by doors, windows, arcades, gates which select panorama’s elements if they are included. In locations outlined by set captions, the degree of permeability between background and foreground, shaped by a number much or less elevated of architectural barriers, fix the opening or closure degree of the field of vision and the extension of exchange between the individual and the world. In fact visual backgrounds usually disappear from set captions when the operist desires a claustrophobical atmosphere.

Limenmusic opens a new column: Area 51 (only Italian version)

Limenmusic inaugura una nuova rubrica grazie alla collaborazione di Annamaria Morini, rinomata flautista di fama nazionale e internazionale.

Il primo saggio vuole ripercorrere il secolo appena trascorso utilizzando come guida la “personalità” del flauto, “multiforme ma decisamente connotata,tanto che lo si potrebbe prendere come figura strumentale riassuntiva del XIX secolo.”

Il flauto meraviglioso del Novecento

(questo titolo si rifà al ciclo di Lieder di Mahler Des Knaben Wunderhorn.Il termine Wunder ha svariati significati,tra cui “meraviglioso” e “miracoloso”.Qui è da intendersi in tutte le accezioni possibili)

E’curioso che mentre il ventunesimo secolo avanza come un grande fiume ingoiando giorni e chilometri verso la sua foce,uno sguardo retrospettivo sulle ultime decadi del novecento faccia venire strani pensieri al flautista novelty – addict,drogato dalle novità e assetato di qualsiasi cosa purché nuova:nuova tecnica,nuovo pezzo,nuove prime esecuzioni.Pensieri che riportano indietro e fanno fare un eccellente allenamento in un’attività il cui esercizio va perdendosi:il recupero della prospettiva storica.Essendo il 900 ormai passato,appunto,alla storia,lo sguardo può spaziare in una visione d’insieme che supera gli angusti limiti del momento presente,o di quello appena trascorso,e valutarlo non suggestionati dall’effimero,ma per capitoli più vasti.Naturalmente ciascuno individua i capitoli che ritiene più significativi,o semplicemente lo appassionano di più,o gli servono per dimostrare qualcosa.Ciò che qui prenderemo come guida è la “personalità” del flauto;il che significa in una prospettiva novecentesca e progressiva (nel senso leopardiano) non solo seguirne l’evoluzione del suono e il ruolo nel processo,anch’esso novecentesco e “progressivo”,di totale emancipazione di questo parametro che da collaterale diventa centrale,da involucro essenza:ma negli stessi termini e nella stessa accezione in cui possiamo parlare della personalità del pianoforte nell’800,multiforme ma decisamente connotata,tanto che lo si potrebbe prendere come figura strumentale riassuntiva del XIX secolo.

The stone host Aristotele III

In the last part of Nineteenth Century, the mobility of characters (over the spaces) streamlines in many italian operas. For the composers, the international or intercontinental vicissitudes, braved by Leonora and Alvaro in Verdi’s La Forza del Destino or by Manon Lescaut and his cavalier in the homonymous Puccini’s opera, loose interest in a progressive way. Verist poetics in a one side, and the employment of pièces bien faites in the other side, make the action more delimited in the use of spaces. So, the action takes place just in one city (for examples Paris, in Cilea’s Adriana Lecouvreur or Puccini’s Bohème, Rome in Puccini’s Tosca), or in a little zone (the wood in Puccini’s La Fanciulla del West), or in a single location (the royal palace in Mascagni’s Isabeau and Puccini’s Turandot). At this regard, Mascagni’s Cavalleria Rusticana, is an evident example: the scene is just one. The village square is the only place shown all the unique act long. In a similar way, in Leoncavallo’s Pagliacci the characters still move in one scene, notwithstanding the structure of the opera is developed in two acts
Certainly, in the reduction of set’s changes is implicit a lack of budget in production. But in the same time, this choice reveals a cultural trend, a change. The attention, in fact, is shifted to the relations of characters, prisoners of own obsessions, crystallised, indifferent in world exploration, or incapable, inadequate to cultivate relations with reality in active way.
