2005cm. 17 x 24, x-252 pp. con 30 ill. f.t. Fondazione Giorgio Cini - Studi di musica veneta - Archivio Egidia Sartori La biografia artistica di Egida Sartori ? stata ripercorsa in questo volume attingendo alle fonti documentarie originali, in specie lettere e copialettere. Viene pertanto cos? ricostruita, per cos? dire ?dal vero?, la carriera di una personalit? che si rivela fondamentale nella storia della creazione di una scuola italiana dedita al revival della musica barocca e del ritorno in spirito neoclassico al repertorio della letteratura clavicembalistica. La biografia di Egida Sartori si presenta arricchita da una memoria introduttiva di Andrea Zanzotto. This volume traces the artistic biography of Egida Sartori on the basis of original documents, in particular letters and draft copies. It thus provides a ?true? picture of a central figure in the revival of Baroque music in Italy and the ?neoclassical? return to the early harpsichord repertories. Egida Sartori?s biography is preceded by an introduction in which Andrea Zanzotto remembers the musician. 524 gr. x-252 p.
2005cm. 17 x 24, xii-262 pp. con molti es. mus. n.t. e 1 tav. f.t. Historiae Musicae Cultores - Biblioteca Compilata tra il 1637 e il 1640, questa fonte in 16 volumi contiene una mole considerevole di musica per tastiera di provenienza eterogenea, anche se prevalgono le opere di autori italiani e della Germania meridionale. Aspetti importanti del manoscritto: la trasmissione di varianti rispetto alle fonti a stampa; la tipologia dell?ornamentazione inserita dal copista; le modalit? di compilazione del manoscritto; l?importanza rivestita in particolare dalla musica della scuola veneziana, di cui il manoscritto ci trasmette moltissimi ?unica? These sixteen manuscript volumes, compiled from 1637 to 1640, contain a vast amount of keyboard music of different origins but chiefly by Italian and South-German authors. Important aspects are the identification of variants with respect to printed versions, the typology of ornamentation introduced by copyists (strongly influenced by the Venetian school), the layout of the compilation, the importance of Italian music, particularly the Venetian school, represented here by many unique examples. 508 gr. xii-262 p.
2006cm. 17 x 24, 590 pp. con 8 tavv. f.t. e CD-ROM. Fondazione Giorgio Cini - Studi di musica veneta - Quaderni vivaldiani Il libro giunge a colmare una lacuna vistosa nella letteratura storico-musicale. Lacuna quasi inspiegabile, considerata la fama conquistata nel Settecento dai quattro ?cori? femminili degli ospedali veneziani, per l?eccellenza delle esecuzioni e per la collaborazione artistica di tanti compositori celebri. Frutto di un sistematico lavoro di ricerca, la monografia ricostruisce con dovizia di dettagli inediti la storia delle istituzioni, il contesto dell?offerta musicale, le fisionomie dei cori e dei repertori. This book fills a major gap in historical music literature. An almost inexplicable gap, considering the fame the four female ?choirs? of Venice?s hospitals gained for their excellent performances and artistic cooperation with many famous composers in the 18th century. With many previously unpublished details, this monograph, the fruit of systematic research work, traces the history of the institutions, the context of the supply of music, the characteristics of the choirs and their repertoires. 1137 gr. 590 p.

Besides being an important catalogue with a precise physical description, contents, concordances and analysis, it also contains the identification of several organists on the grounds of archival research.
