Vivaldi a piacere | Amandine Beyer Gli Incogniti

Show & Culture

Following in the footsteps of Aristogenes of Tarentum, Vivaldi doesn't hesitate to talk about those who can't find their way in music, who remain stuck by rules unsuited to the proposed play. The hundreds of compositions by the Red Priest constantly reshuffle the cards, from the theatre to the church, from the palace to the garden or the tavern, mixing masks, dances, timbres, paintings, traditions and seeing how they react to different contexts. Vivaldi, through ornaments, stories, diminutions, cadences, pushes his students to improvise, so that they reach that transcendental stage, that second nature, able to give priority to the interpretive necessity of the moment. Gli Incogniti offers to discover what Vivaldi's music aspires to: something else!
