Séance - The Bel-Canto Era: Rossini, Donizetti, and Bellini
Pré-acte / Acte
Auteur : Alberto Annarilli
When the new composer is located before the first has to confront the truth of the first, and with his own. But work on someone else’s work is something serious and risky from several points of view, not least the historical one. Inspired by the words of Giorgio Battistelli (said during the start phase of his work on Donizetti’s Le Duc d’Albe): «restoring the aged parts», giving rise to a «restoration operation», I will try to explain the operations of the composer using a parallel between the restoration of archaeological heritage and this ‘restoration of the score’. As well as the archaeological restoration, the score reading will be divided into five levels: the primary reconstruction restoration; the secondary reconstruction restoration; the restoration of philological completion; the restoration of hypothetical completion; the restoration of innovation. For ease of exposition I will divide generally these types of restoration in two more blocks: the first block, which will include the first and second level, I’ll call ‘compensation’; the second block, which includes the third and fourth level, I will call ‘refund’. The fifth level will remain on its own. The excerpts of the score considered are only illustrative of these ‘restoration’ levels identified.
