Giovanni Battista Viotti: «professione musicista»
Sguardo sull'opera, lo stile, le fonti
edited by Mariateresa Dellaborra
(Essays, 7)

XIV, 200 pp.; 21 x 14,8 cm

This volume is meant as a state-of-the-art in-depth exploration of Giovanni Battista Viotti’s works and musical language. Compositions for different combinations—duos, sonatas, quartets, vocal music—are discussed, various aspects of his opus are investigated or approached from new perspectives, and performance practice issues are dealt with. Also, information is issued here for the first time on newly found Viotti pieces in Piedmont music archives.
