The Faculty Artist Concert Series at the University of Indianapolis presents "Will the Real Antonio Vivaldi Please Stand Up?"
In days gone by, the attribution of musical compositions was less reliable than it is today. From the time of Beethoven, for instance, to now, a composer put their stamp of authorship on their work–“This is mine, and no other’s.” In earlier times, authorship, for a number of reasons which this program will explore, was sometimes clouded. The work of the Italian Baroque composer Antonio Vivaldi (1678–1741) is a richly illustrative example. “Will the Real Antonio Vivaldi Please Stand Up” presents some bona fide Vivaldi, some fake Vivaldi, some spurious Vivaldi, and some borrowed Vivaldi.
Featuring:
