Description
In October 2021 I performed in a concert in Bergamo the pieces from the volume Homage to Dallapiccola published in this series. The recital took place in the Sala Fellegara of the Donizetti Conservatory, for the concert season "Incontri Europei con la Musica" (European Meetings with Music), created by Vittorio Fellegara together with Pieralberto Cattaneo. On that occasion I expressed the hope that a similar venture could be undertaken as a tribute to Vittorio Fellegara, who had died ten years earlier.
My wish was immediately taken up by Pieralberto Cattaneo, who said he was ready not only to write a piece for this project, but to involve other composers in the proposal, contacted also with the help of Tiziana Moneta Fellegara. Therefore, within a few months, numerous composers, connected to Vittorio Fellegara because they were his disciples, friends and collaborators, wrote their "Omaggio a Fellegara", which I asked to be limited to the size of an album sheet.
The result was a collection of pieces, different from each other in terms of the compositional language used, but united by the sincere and personal participation in the tribute to the great Composer. This year, 2022, when the volume comes out, significantly acts as an ideal bridge between the ten-year anniversary of the Composer's death and 2023, the year in which the 100th anniversary of the foundation of the Società Italiana di Musica Contemporanea (Italian Society of Contemporary Music) will be celebrated. Fellegara was secretary of this society for many years. On this occasion, I once again thank all the composers who participated in the venture. (Piero Bonaguri)
Publishers use a lot of words to describe what they sell, and we know it can be confusing. We've tried to be as clear as possible to make sure you get exactly what you are looking for. Below are descriptions of the terms that we use to describe the various formats that music often comes in.
Choral Score
A score for vocalists that only contains the vocal lines. The instrumental parts are not there for reference. Generally, cheaper than a vocal score and requires multiple copies for purchase.
Facsimile
Reproductions of the original hand-written scores from the composer.
Full Score
For ensemble music, this indicates that the edition contains all parts on a single system (there are not separate parts for each player). In larger ensembles, this is for the conductor.
Hardcover
Hardbound. Generally either linen-covered or half-leather.
Orchestral Parts
Similar to a wind set, this is a collection of parts. In the case of strings, the numbers listed are the number of copies included, though generally these are available individually (often with minimum quantities required).
Paperback
When publishers offer multiple bindings (e.g. hardcover) or study scores, this is the "standard" version. If you're planning to play the music, this is probably what you want.
Performance / Playing Score
A score of the music containing all parts on one system, intended for players to share. There are not separate parts for each player.
Set of Parts
For ensemble music, this indicates that there are separate individual parts for each player.
Solo Part with Piano Reduction
For solo pieces with orchestra, this is a version that contains a piano reduction of the orchestra parts. For piano pieces, two copies are typically needed for performance.
Study Score
A small (think choral size) copy of the complete score meant for studying, and not playing. They make great add-ons when learning concertos and small chamber works.
Vocal Score
A score prepared for vocalists that includes the piano/organ part or a reduction of the instrumental parts.
Wind Set
For orchestral music, this is a collection of wind and percussion parts. The specific quantities of each instrument are notated.
With Audio
In addition to the printed music, the edition contains recordings of the pieces. This may be an included CD, or access to files on the internet.
With / Without Fingering (Markings)
Some publishers prepare two copies - a pure Urtext edition that includes no fingering (or bowing) suggestions and a lightly edited version that includes a minimal number of editorial markings.
