Composer's Artistic Vision
From 1750 onwards, Tartini became increasingly preoccupied with music theory, which led to a significant slowdown in his musical composition.
Composer Biography
Tartini founded a violin school in Padua around 1727, earning him the nickname 'master of all nations'.
Composition History
Tartini's musical output primarily focused on two genres: the violin concerto and the sonata for violin and basso continuo, with 135 violin concertos attributed to him.
Interpretation
The ensemble L'Arte dell'Arco uses a high pitch level (A=442 Hz) and specially calibrated gut strings, along with research on historical intonation, to recreate a bright sound in the high range.
Composer Biography
Giuseppe Tartini, born in 1692, was initially destined for a monastic career by his father, a Venetian Republic official.
Composer Biography
Tartini fled Padua and took refuge in Assisi for three years after marrying Elisabetta Pramazore, a decision that conflicted with his family and religious authorities.
Performer Biography
L'Arte dell'Arco, founded in 1994 by Giovanni and Federico Guglielmo, aims to present Italian music, especially from the Venetian Republic, in a new light.
