SERENATA NOTTURNA. Galuppi & Mozart
From 23 September to 23 September Italy / Vignola
Set in the evocative medieval setting, the concert traces the transition from the gallant sensitivity of the mid-eighteenth century to the full maturity of Viennese Classicism. The opening is dedicated to Baldassarre Galuppi through two Concerti a quattro drawn from manuscripts preserved at the Biblioteca Estense in Modena: pieces that combine the melodic grace of the Venetian school with original harmonic solutions, suspended between contrapuntal memories and pre-romantic intuitions. The figure of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart emerges first with the youthful Quartet in C major KV 157, composed in Milan in 1772 during his Italian stay, and culminates in the famous Serenade in G major KV 525 "Eine kleine Nachtmusik". Originally conceived for convivial occasions, the work transcends the boundaries of entertainment music, offering a model of formal perfection entrusted to the Ensemble I Musicali Affetti led by Fabio Missaggia.
