1/6Recording & Production
The recording project involved extensive work deciphering Tartini's original manuscripts, which were often dense, messy, and contained corrections and missing note-heads.
Recording & Production
The performers on this album completed missing parts of Tartini's concertos, such as accompaniment sections, based on their deep knowledge of his musical language.
Composer Biography
Giuseppe Tartini (1692–1770), an Italian 18th-century composer, focused almost his entire musical output on the violin, his chosen instrument.
Interpretation
The performers chose a pitch of A=442 Hz and Vallotti temperament for this recording, reflecting the historical practices of Tartini's time and region.
Composer's Artistic Vision
Tartini's 'second creative period' (from around 1735) is marked by highly virtuosic instrumental writing, free from Vivaldian influence, and an increased focus on expressive slow movements.
Composition History
Most of Tartini's violin concertos exist only in manuscript form, as he rarely dated his compositions, making chronological ordering difficult.
