Antonio SALIERI
Antonio Salieri is an Italian musician, born in Legnano in the province of Verona August 18, 1750 and died in Vienna May 7, 1825. It occupies in the history of classical music, a place very different from that mentioned in the movie Amadeus. Born in Legnano, the young Antonio from fifteen years studying singing and theory in Venice. His teacher, Florian Gassmann, took him to Vienna in 1766. He teaches composition and presents it to Metastasio and Gluck. Gassmann is an important figure in Vienna and it was through him that Salieri is preparing for a prestigious future. It also benefits from the support of Gluck who does not hesitate to suggest The Danaides under his own name at the Academy of Music in Paris, before revealing the name of the composer. Birthplace of Antonio Salieri in Legnano (Veneto) Gassmann's death in 1774 he was appointed court composer and director of Italian opera, then in 1788, Kapellmeister of the Emperor. He went to Milan, Venice, Rome and Paris for performances of his operas. Essential personality of Viennese musical life of his time, Salieri is the friend of Gluck and Haydn, and has relationships with many other important composers and musicians, especially through her educational activities. Some of his pupils later became famous: Beethoven, Schubert, Giacomo Meyerbeer, but also the young Liszt, others take their time more or less like Hummel, Anton Reicha, Ignaz Moscheles, Carl Czerny, Franz Xaver Franz Xaver Sussmayr and Wolfgang Mozart (Mozart's second son). In 1792, Leopold Anton Kozeluch succeeded him in charge of the composer of the Imperial Court of Austria. Salieri and MozartThe rumor accusing him of organizing the death of Mozart, which was taken over by Milos Forman's film Amadeus seems to be peddled since the publication of Pushkin's story, Mozart and Salieri. This accusation is based on no real fact, despite the jealousy that could legitimately Salieri felt towards the music of Mozart. The mysterious sponsor of Mozart's Requiem was in reality the son of the mayor of Vienna at the time who was acting on behalf of Franz Walsegg. At the funeral of Mozart, Salieri was one of the few people present. Then he strove to make known his music, which he had with Joseph Haydn, the acknowledged genius. The libretto of Cosi fan tutte Lorenzo Da Ponte had first been presented to Salieri who composed some numbers, before having to give up (he probably had too much work). It was finally Mozart composed the THEREFOR we know. It is the same composition of La Clemenza di Tito, proposed prior to Salieri, who recommended him to Mozart. Salieri todayThe composer found today, a place more in keeping with his book. We are rediscovering happiness with parts such as extraordinary XXVI Variations on La folia di Spagna (1815), for orchestra and solo violin. This is one of his last works, which we can not underestimate the value and innovation, we find no other cycle of important changes orchestrated by Brahms (Haydn Variations). The Europa riconosciuta his opera was played at the opening of the opera house, La Scala August 3, 1778. He was again at work after the reopening of La Scala December 7, 2004.
