A wonderful contribution
enriches the literature of the tuba.
A virtuoso piece for both pleasant
the audience to the performers
(Rex Martin Professor of Tuba Northwestern University in Chicago)
Invented in 1835 in Germany, Tuba is a tool that has not backed by a great solo repertoire. There have been many musicians who, in recent years, were measured in the composition of baroque works (Thomas and John Stevens).
As with these tools, Eros Sabbatani presents to us all his latest work dedicated to his instrument.
The "Madness" (in Portuguese crowd is equivalent to "fixed idea") is the element that characterizes the work. Referring to the element most exquisite violin virtuoso nature of the collection of the great composers of the "700, our teacher Tuba has combined with skill and synthesize the old with the new. All with the help of Maestro Alfredo Cornacchia (organist Puglia) was able to cha finely blend the sound of two instruments "in a fantastic combination of instruments" (Sergio Carolino)
What
is the reason for which was composed this song? How
Sabbatani himself has said: "During my concerts with the organ, it was difficult to identify a song that could meet and enhance the features of my instrument!
There are many works that can combine the warm sound of the Tuba with the mighty organ. " Work that he wrote as characterized by "A gradual tightening towards the grand finale, creating a cascading effect,"
Referring to XII in D minor Sonata for Violin and Basso Continuo, Op. 5 F. Corelli the "Tuba Madness" has a strict and serious character in triple time and divided into two parts of four beats each characterized by a low repetitive and too varied.
Each variation is concerned not only thematic but to highlight the potential of enhancing a technical detail of the instrumental writing, so the page appears as a collection of Baroque instrumental virtuosity!
Within these changes the work of the parties has "not moved" in which the virtuosity gives way to lyricism of the tuba and voice, all clocked by the constant presence, but not intrusive body . Yes, the voice!
Another, but no less important feature of the piece, is to just highlight the potential of the instrument and of serious human voice (even by the body).
"dissonant chords, clusters, multiphonic sounds, staccato double-and triple merge skillfully with virtuosity in the past assigned to instruments like the violin, flute and cello."
The work of Maestro Sabbatani is offered in two versions, for organ and piano: this feature allows for a more affordable performance for all the plumbers who can not perform with a body!
One song, in short, that to use the words of a great virtuoso Tuba Oystein Baadsvik as "I would be delighted in the play."
