Unanimously considered a master of orchestration, even before being a great symphonic composer, Ottorino Respighi was a cosmopolitan musician from a young age.

Produktbeschreibung
Unanimously considered a master of orchestration, even before being a great symphonic composer, Ottorino Respighi was a cosmopolitan musician from a young age. After studying composition with Giuseppe Martucci in Bologna, he had crucial lessons with Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov. His Sinfonia Drammatica is the only composition he wrote in the form of a symphony (the Roman triptych - Pini di Roma; Fontane di Roma; Feste Romane - it is in fact a series of symphonic poems). It is a large page (lasting about an hour), in three movements completed in 1914, which reflects in itself a series of influences such as those of Rinsky-Korsakov, Scriabin, Franck, Mahler, Wagner, Bruckner, Debussy, Reger and Strauss. The second movement Andante sostenuto, particularly serious and dramatic, reveals a certain familiarity with Debussy and with references to Franck's Trois Chorals. It is the shortest movement (lasting about 17 minutes) of the symphony. Built on three contrasting ideas, it presents, after a cantabile introduction and a second section in pastoral guise, a sort of choral (in the Franck manner) in the low register of trombones and a second time, in the reprise, in the strings section. Then there is an interesting fugue where the choral theme is re-proposed as cantus firmus (with a marked reference to similar treatments made by Reger). For all these reasons I believe that this movement, which moreover I particularly love, is specially linked to the sound and to the world of the organ, hence the desire to elaborate it. The score I created presents only a few indications of a proper registration, however it retains all the dynamic signs of the original (in addition to this there are in the same points the indication of the families of instruments, as in the original score, that are engaged in the specific passage) which will result in allowing the attentive musician to orient oneself in an extremely refined orchestral writing.
Autorenporträt
Transcriptions are essentially a way to teach and to introduce people to the great symphonic and opera music. It is also an ancient musical practice which consist of modelling on one's own instrument a music page which was intended for another one (or, more often, other ones), in order to create thus the impression that the page was written since the very beginning for that instrument. This Transcriptions Collection was born from my desire to extend to a greater audience those compositions which, even though they are well known, are seldom presented during live performances. Together with this, it is a music project deploying within the tradition of the great transcriptions by Edwin Lemare and David Briggs. Please visit: https://www.lulu.com/spotlight/emfcollection
