Galuppi: Le nozze di Dorina - Overture (Azzolini)

[prinzsimca]

Anche se soverchiato dalla schiacciante presenza di Vivaldi, Galuppi con la sua allegria ne esce benissimo!

Burano rules! :)

I think that, its all composition, And yes i agree all composers do have the intellect of a musical voice, I hAVE YET TO FIND ONE WHO TRIES TO NOT HAVE INTELLECT IN THIS ABSTRACT

[Flurina1246]

What fantastic fun music! Thank you so much for sharing. I love Galuppi!

[Eushayson]

Now this is a very fun work. Gotta love the jutting figures in the violins and the pounding drums. The slow portion has a nice wind accompaniment. The third movement presto is quite fun, again with interesting wind work. Galuppi is able to achieve quite a bit of originality in this piece.

I'm curious: is the clever full-legato 'up and down' hopping written in or is this to be attributed to the performers?

[Hamlynhyde]

I do so subscribe to all the above! And, if such an expression is permissible, this is just such good, pure old fun... A great many thanks for sharing!!!

It is interesting how each composer is distinguished by his own "musical voice." I look forward to further uploads.

[Thrax1982]

That is so right. And this is also the reason why I don't understand how some people can only listen to the music of handful of composers even if they are great ones.

[sfkcbf]

Perhaps one reason is, that during the Baroque era, there were so many wonderful composers (for reasons with which I am unaware) that only some of the superlative ones are remembered today. Many talented ones, consequently, are forgotten. A second reason is that the vast majority of operas were written before 1800, and 70% of the major roles were for castrati, not a popular avocation today. A third reason is that Baroque opera and other music became largely out of fashion for so long.

Yes- you do seem to have a great perspective on composing... each musician's musicality is as unique as each person's personality. Remember- we are all unique- like everyone else.

A person's compositional style seems to reflect their personality... it's quite interesting, actually.
