Musique

Esta obra pertenece al segundo movimiento para piano n21 de Mozart,sin embargo ,Casi un siglo más tarde, Elvira Madigan (1867-1889), joven acróbata danesa, estando de gira en Suecia, conoce al conde Sixten Sparre, oficial de la armada sueca, y se enamoran. Es un amor complicado, imposible para la época, ella es una artista y él un oficial casado y con dos hijos. Tras tres años escondiendo su amor huyen a Dinamarca, pero sólo dos semanas después se quedan sin recursos y no ven otra salida que la muerte. Se les encontró muertos en el claro de un bosque; tras almorzar Sixten sacó su arma reglamentaria y mató a Elvira, luego se suicidó. 
En 1967 se rodó una película sobre esta historia:  Elvira Madigan,  y se utilizó
el segundo movimiento del concierto nº 21 de Mozart como banda sonora; desde entonces la melodía es  conocida con el nombre de Elvira Madigan.


Elvira Madigan Mozart

Franz Liszt must have really been blown away by the cities of Venice and Naples on his travels with Marie d'Agoult, because he ended up composing four pieces named after them: Venezia e Napoli. But apparently, the original four pieces weren't good enough for old Franz, so he went back and revised them until only the last two were left: the Andante placido (aka Gondoliera) and the Tarantelles Napolitaines (aka just plain ol' Tarantella). Then he stuck a sad song called Canzone in between them and voila! The triptych known as Venezia e Napoli was born. It was published as a supplement to Deuxième Année in 1861, so if you want to check it out, you better hit up this recording!

Liszt must have been feeling pretty darn romantic when he composed Gondoliera, because it's based on a love song by Giovanni Battista Peruchini called "La biondina in gondoletta." But unlike the original version, Liszt's revision starts off with a fancy introduction in the key of F-sharp minor. The music sounds all calm and serene, like a peaceful Venetian canal (or at least what I imagine one would sound like). And then, once it hits that F-sharp major chord, it's like BAM! The melody comes in and it's all lovey-dovey and stuff. And let me tell you, it's so sweet and soft, it'll make your teeth hurt. But don't worry, there's some fancy flourishes in there to keep things interesting.

The Canzone that comes after Gondoliera (or "Gondolier's Song") is actually part of a larger piece, and it leads directly into the Tarantella without missing a beat. It's based on a song called "Nessun maggior dolore" from Rossini's opera Otello, which is weird because the opera is set in Venice but it premiered in Naples. Anyway, Liszt messed around with the melody and rhythm a bit, and he also changed the key from G minor to E-flat minor, which makes it sound all dark and moody. It starts off with some creepy tremolo, and then the melody comes in and it's all woe is me. But don't worry, it's not all doom and gloom, because there's some fancy piano stuff in there to keep things interesting. And at the end, the music gets all happy and major-key-y, so it's not a total downer.

The Tarantella is like a firework show on piano. It's based on some themes by a French composer named Guillaume-Louis Cottrau, who lived and worked in Naples. It starts off with a Presto tempo, and the introduction leads you from the E-flat key of the Canzone to the G minor key of the first theme. And let me tell you, this thing is full of energy! The music shifts between different meters, so it's like a never-ending party. Then the second theme comes in, and it's like BAM! Fortissimo! And then the music goes to the relative major key, but it doesn't stay there long because it sidesteps into D-flat major with a funny little passage in contrary motion. And then it's back to G minor, and the first theme returns, and it's like a three-part design or something. And then the music closes in B-flat major, and there's a pause, and then there's a new theme in E-flat major, and it's all lyrical and stuff. And then there's some fancy flourishes and variations, and then it goes to E major, and then to G major, and then there's a coda and it's like WHAM! Prestissimo! And the music is rushing towards the end, and it's all virtuosic and impressive.

Fritz Kreisler Plays 'Songs My Mother Taught Me' By Dvorak

This is a recording of me on the violin playing Dvorak's Songs My Mother Taught Me back in September 2012. I am not particularly happy with the microphone (or my intonation for that matter) so I will very likely replace this recording with an updated one in the future. Thanks for listening!

Song Lyrics:
Songs my mother taught me, In the days long vanished;
Seldom from her eyelids were the teardrops banished.
Now I teach my children, each melodious measure.
Oft the tears are flowing, oft they flow from my memory's treasure.
