Summary of This Score
Published between 1821 and 1828, Le Rossiniane by Mauro Giuliani gather six potpourris entirely based on the music of Gioachino Rossini. Very popular in the early 19th century, the potpourri consists of linking, within a single composition, themes borrowed from diverse origins to create a varied, brilliant, and immediately recognizable musical journey. In this context, these pages play an essential role: circulating, within homes and private circles, a repertoire mostly conceived for the stage and theater.
Giuliani's correspondence provides valuable insight into the genesis and reception of these pieces. It first reveals that the composer himself performed them in concert, a sign of their importance in his output. It also indicates that Rossini was informed of the project and, moreover, contributed by offering Giuliani certain original themes. Finally, Giuliani was aware of proposing a striking novelty, claiming a language "of a style unknown to date," which places these Rossiniane at the crossroads of instrumental virtuosity, homage to opera, and formal invention.
This edition relies on period musical witnesses that have come down to us and aims to restore the work with rigor. The performance indications and notes accompany the reading to help the musician build a solid, stylistically coherent execution respectful of the challenges of a score as notable as it is original.
