concertMusica, parola, visualità: Luigi Dallapiccola e Aldo ClementiI Solisti Aquilani
Voliera hall
curated by professor Raffaele Pozzi
free admission with online booking – SOLD OUT
A tribute to Luigi Dallapiccola and Aldo Clementi, two essential voices of 20th-century Italian music, in a dialogue that spans time, memory and modernity.
In Luigi Dallapiccola’s work, the relationship between poetic words and music plays an important role throughout his entire production. The concert offers three examples:
Due liriche di Anacreonte for soprano, piccolo clarinet, viola and piano (1945) is linked to Salvatore Quasimodo’s well-known and successful translation of the Greek lyric poets.
Quattro liriche di Antonio Machado for voice and piano (1948) sets four poems by the great Spanish poet to music.
Goethe-Lieder for female voice and three clarinets (1953) in which the musician selects poems from Goethe’s West-östlicher Divan.
In Aldo Clementi, the dimension of visuality and his encounter with Informal painting were decisive in determining his creative path. From the 1960s onwards, the composer found inspiration and convergence with the experiences of painters such as Achille Perilli, Piero Dorazio, Victor Vasarely and Optical Art. This is evidenced by the static textures and the sonic continuum of the works in the programme: Reticolo: 4 for string quartet (1968); B.A.C.H. for piano (1970); Concertino for flute, clarinet, piano, 2 violins, viola and cello (1999).
