Giuseppe Torelli and the Music of His Time in Bologna
INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE
Bologna, 28-30 September 2023
Call for papers
Gruppo di Ricerca “Arcomelo”, Conservatorio “G.B. Martini” (Bologna), Schola Cantorum Basiliensis (Musikakademie Basel).
Giuseppe Torelli (1658–1709) played a significant role in the creation and development of the concerto as a genre and as a form, while his compositions served as models to all those musicians who have dealt with the genre in the generation that succeeded him, including Antonio Vivaldi.
Objectives of the conference are both to explore the life, works, and influence (in a European perspective) Torelli had on instrumental music in Bologna and in Emilia, as well as to shed light both on other specific figures of Bolognese musical lives of the period, and on the circulation of Bolognese music and musicians. Although preference will be given to papers dealing with these major topics, the scientific committee also invites proposals concerning other aspects of Bolognese music of the period 1670-1710, including the relationship between musical patronage and production, reciprocal influences between instrumental and vocal music, instrument making, and aspects of performance practice.
The conference is conceived as an effort to galvanize new scholarship on the composer and to shed light on the pedagogical level (through workshops directed by specialized faculty) - aiming to offer a specific education on Bolognese styles around 1700 - and on issues of performance practice, providing students (through their participation in concerts in various venues) with high-profile performance opportunities. It will be held in the Sala Bossi of the Conservatorio di Bologna and will happen in person and in live-streaming.
The scientific committee (Enrico Gatti, Marc Vanscheeuwijck, Agnese Pavanello, Antonella D’Ovidio, Guido Olivieri, and Francesco Zimei) invites proposals for papers not exceeding 25 minutes.
The (anonymous) abstract should include the title of the paper and a text of maximum 250 words, and indicate the topic and/or thesis, the state of research, the principal sources used, and a statement on the relevance and originality of the contribution. In a separate file, please indicate the paper title, first and last name of the author, e-mail address, and provide a short one-page CV.
