Alessandro Mugnoz Concert, Ancona - Italyby Holda Paoletti-Kampl |
On April 19th a significant concert with the title ‘Su le rive dell’oblio’ - music for accordion and piano - with Alessandro Mugnoz and pianist Claudia Menghi – took place at the Teatro delle Muse in Ancona. The program, with some rare ‘modern premières’ of the 19th Century music by George C. Lickl (1801-1877) – ‘Sonata op. 40 for piano and accordion’, Angelo Panzini (1820-1886) – ‘Grande Sonata for pianoforte and accordion’ , Charles-Marie Widor (1845-1937) – ‘Humoresque and Marche nuptiale’ (dai “6 duos” for harmonium and pianoforte), and Felice Lattuada (1882-1962) – ‘Sulle rive dell’oblio’ (arranged for accordion and piano by A. Mugnoz). A preview of the concert was held in Castelfidardo on April 9th, at the auditorium ‘Binci’ Mordini Palace, in the presence of a selected audience of fellow musicians and performers. The two concerts - much appreciated by their audiences - are in a great part the result of much research work done during the recent years by Alessandro Mugnoz, the chamber music repertoire that includes the accordion, in general, the "free reed " instruments from the 19th Century (repertoire almost forgotten and yet unexplored). They have also presented an initial proposal - musical and cultural - the result of research, in collaboration between the association ‘New Italian Musical Learning Center’ and the ‘International Center for Studies of the Accordion’, based in Castelfidardo.
