This has led, between 2014 and 2021, to the qualification of thirteen doctors from Spain, Italy, Mexico, and Russia. Subsequently, they have been distinguished in the country for their academic accomplishments (recognition of the PRODEP profile and admission to the SNI) and work outcomes (employment as professors at public universities). This article describes the research carried out in the doctoral dissertations, listing the resulting publications (books, book chapters, refereed and indexed articles, and audio CDs), and showing the training in Mexico of highly specialized human resources, as well as the creation and coordination of a solid working group in the area of musicology.

STUDI VIVALDIANI (ISSN: 1594-0012), XXI, pp. 25-59, 2021

In particular, his encounter with the Red Priest is well documented by the incomplete manuscript of a violin concerto by him (consisting of the first movement alone in score plus a few sketches for the remaining two), which is today preserved in Dresden (at the SLUB) in the ‘Schrank II’ collection (Mus.2421-O-14). The special significance of this manuscript, long recognized by students of both Pisendel and Vivaldi, lies in the fact that it contains autograph annotations made by the latter that turn it into a veritable ‘exercise in composition’. Despite this, the interaction of the two composers to produce this score has not been studied in detail previously. Thanks to the identification of individual hands made for the first time in this article it has become possible to pinpoint successive phases of the drafting and revision of the concerto. These stages emerge clearly from the numerous corrections, additions and compositional second thoughts originating from both violinists. Analysis of these changes sheds light on the ‘modus operandi’ of both Pisendel and Vivaldi, the second man being concerned, in particular, to improve the counterpoint between the voices, differentiate timbres more sharply and vary the accompanimental textures during solo passages, besides making adjustments to the proportions and elements of structural unity in the orchestral ritornellos.
As a complement to the article, the authors append a score of the concerto’s first movement in its final state (i.e., following the changes made by both composers). This score corrects various errors present in an earlier transcription made by Wolfgang Hochstein that was published in 2010 in a volume of proceedings of a conference dedicated to the German violinist.

STUDI VIVALDIANI (ISSN: 1594-0012), XXI, pp. 61-77, 2021

Bach (Edition HH, 2020), the scholarly basis for which had been explained in an article by me published in Volume 20 (2020) of “Studi vivaldiani”. In his text Ziliak called into question the validity of certain aspects of my reconstruction, especially regarding perceived problems encountered in passages employing ‘bariolage’, in arpeggios, in cadenzas and in phrasing marks, concluding that “technical issues in the third movement mean that players will continue to need to refer to other editions”, meaning specifically the ‘official’ one made by Wilfried Fischer for the ‘Neue Bach Ausgabe’ (Bärenreiter, 1970), including a revised version of it by Werner Breig (1976), plus a less well known one by Benjamin Shute (Prb Productions, 2013 and 2017).
With the support of historical, source-critical, musical and instrumental technique-related arguments, and also ones connected with Bach compositional process, this postscript analyses in detail all the individual passages criticized by Ziliak, showing by means of a minute analysis based on a close reading of the text of the known original sources that the two modern editions just mentioned, taken as a model by the reviewer, in fact harbour serious conceptual and methodological shortcomings in that they use as the foundation of their reconstruction the final reworking of the concerto (BWV 1052, almost a quarter-century later than the original version) or, in the worst cases, combine readings belonging to different phases of Bach’s process of composition and recomposition.
The postscript therefore provides convincing evidence that historically and musicologically aware performers will not, in fact, be able to continue “to refer to editions by Fischer and Shute”, contrary to Ziliak’s hopes. In doing so, it also provides some useful detail additional to the original article.

STUDI VIVALDIANI (ISSN: 1594-0012), XX, pp. 3-39, 2020

Either for reasons of historical context or because of the (supposed) presence of certain structu... more Either for reasons of historical context or because of the (supposed) presence of certain structural features within the score, two eminent Bach scholars, Christoph Wolff (Harvard University) and Peter Wollny (Bach Archive Leipzig), have recently disputed – independently of one another – that J.S. Bach’s concerto for harpsichord and orchestra BWV 1052, whose musical material the composer had already used in three movements with obbligato organ in church cantatas (BWV 146/I-II and BWV 188/I), was based on a lost original for violin, as has long been believed, proposing instead that it was conceived from the start as a work for a keyboard instrument.
Since for BWV 1052 there also exists an earlier version, likewise for harpsichord (catalogued as BWV 1052a), whose musical content probably goes back to the Weimar period (1708-1717), the article analyses the textual differences emerging from a close comparison of the known primary sources, focusing on various portions of musical text that display apparently inconsistent changes of octave register, alterations to notes or entire passages and modifications to orchestral tuttis (in the first movement), many of which appear to have been dictated by the simple practical need to transfer to the keyboard musical ideas originally conceived for violin. Moreover, this hypothesis receives support from certain peculiarities in the soloist’s melodic line in the second movement, as well as from some interesting notational features and particular types of writing associated with passages in bariolage and arpeggiated chords, all of which point unequivocally towards an original version of this concerto for violin (BWV 1052R).
The second part of the article highlights the presence of several unique features of BWV 1052/1052a within the entire corpus of Bach’s ‘original’ concertos: the particular choice of key for the second movement; the presence of not one but two substantial cadenzas for the soloist (originally both unaccompanied); the appearance of the orchestral unison as a compositional device characterizing tutti sections; the extraordinary variety shown by the combinations employed in the accompaniment of solo passages; the composer’s propensity to introduce asymmetrical or irregular phrase structures.
In the light of the analysis performed it is legitimate to hypothesize that the original version for violin (BWV 1052R) represents one of Bach’s first attempts at composing an ‘autonomous’ Italian-style concerto (drawing on the experience of his keyboard transcriptions made during the years 1713-1714), which would place it chronologically within the last years of the Weimar period: between 1714 and 1717.
Further, the concerto is revealed to be heavily indebted to Vivaldi on account of the large number of structural, harmonic, instrumental and timbral details showing affinity to some of the early works of the Red Priest (in particular, to the concertos RV 208, 316, 522, 528 and 813). It appears to be one of the first compositions in which Bach tested out – above all, in the construction of the orchestral tutti – the application of the cardinal principles of “order, coherence and proportion” (“Ordnung, Zusammenhang und Verhältniß”).

Successivamente, ma non oltre la fine del secondo decennio del Settecento, Vivaldi ha invece inteso il concerto per due violini come un ‘ampliamento’ del concerto solistico.

This aria – which is preserved in the Cathedral of Guatemala and transmitted in four non-autograph separate parts without a score – has one literary text (“O bien amable”) in the soprano part and a different one (“O golpe suave”) in the guideline of the basso continuo part. Source-critical and musical analysis of the composition, based on the significant differences identified in these two separate parts, can clarify why two separate verbal texts exist and show which one was originally used for the music.

If in one side their surveys and cataloging have been the topic of very important and prestigious studies, on the other side there is a lack of high quality critical editions based on the latest philological knowledge. A good example is the printed collection of the ‘Pensieri ariarmonici’, twelve Concerti a cinque op. I (Amsterdam, Roger & Le Cène, ca. 1720-21) by the Italian composer Giacomo Facco (1676-1753), kept in the Colegio de las Vizcaínas in Mexico City. This collection was published entirely by Uberto Zanolli (México, FONCA, 1965), and printed more than once (1995 and 1997). However, this modern edition, which is still used, is very problematic: in fact, Zanolli didn’t understand the typical structure of the venetian ‘concerto a cinque’ in the organization of the three violins parts, he did not always offered a correct way of the notation’s system of the accidentals used in Italy during the eighteenth century, neither he offered the figured bass added by the Dutch editors. The article offers an example of realization of a new critical edition of the Facco’s Op. I, based on updated philological criteria.

Analysis of the sixteen autograph scores of Vivaldi’s sixteen concertos preserved in the Bibliote... more Analysis of the sixteen autograph scores of Vivaldi’s sixteen concertos preserved in the Biblioteca Nazionale Universitaria of Turin (the fond Foà and the fondo Giordano) can shed light on the compositional processes and working methods of the “Prete rosso”. Some of these sources appear to be fair copies (being totally void of evidence of correction and written in a neat and regular hand), while others bear evidence of second thoughts that must have been almost contemporary with the original creative act. The article describes and analyses Vivaldi’s compositional methods, for example his recourse to “juxtaposed modules”. It also draws attention to many other aspects, including the composer’s constant striving for ‘optimum’ proportions in his ritornello-form movements, which he achieves by reducing the number of modules in his sequences (a step that sometimes results in changes of harmonic direction); to the presence of cuts (which may be either definitive or subsequently reversed); to the deliberate ‘deformation’ of regular phrase-structures; and to his practice of shortening (or sometimes not shortening) the final Tutti.

Bach’s concerto for harpsichord and orchestra BWV 1052, whose musical material the composer had already used in three movements with obbligato organ in church cantatas (BWV 146/I-II and BWV 188/I), was based on a lost original for violin, as has long been believed, proposing instead that it was conceived from the start as a work for a keyboard instrument.
Since for BWV 1052 there also exists an earlier version, likewise for harpsichord (catalogued as BWV 1052a), whose musical content probably goes back to the Weimar period (1708-1717), the article analyses the textual differences emerging from a close comparison of the known primary sources, focusing on various portions of musical text that display apparently inconsistent changes of octave register, alterations to notes or entire passages and modifications to orchestral tuttis (in the first movement), many of which appear to have been dictated by the simple practical need to transfer to the keyboard musical ideas originally conceived for violin. Moreover, this hypothesis receives support from certain peculiarities in the soloist’s melodic line in the second movement, as well as from some interesting notational features and particular types of writing associated with passages in bariolage and arpeggiated chords, all of which point unequivocally towards an original version of this concerto for violin (BWV 1052R).
The second part of the article highlights the presence of several unique features of BWV 1052/1052a within the entire corpus of Bach’s ‘original’ concertos: the particular choice of key for the second movement; the presence of not one but two substantial cadenzas for the soloist (originally both unaccompanied); the appearance of the orchestral unison as a compositional device characterizing tutti sections; the extraordinary variety shown by the combinations employed in the accompaniment of solo passages; the composer’s propensity to introduce asymmetrical or irregular phrase structures.
In the light of the analysis performed it is legitimate to hypothesize that the original version for violin (BWV 1052R) represents one of Bach’s first attempts at composing an ‘autonomous’ Italian-style concerto (drawing on the experience of his keyboard transcriptions made during the years 1713-1714), which would place it chronologically within the last years of the Weimar period: between 1714 and 1717.
Further, the concerto is revealed to be heavily indebted to Vivaldi on account of the large number of structural, harmonic, instrumental and timbral details showing affinity to some of the early works of the Red Priest (in particular, to the concertos RV 208, 316, 522, 528 and 813). It appears to be one of the first compositions in which Bach tested out – above all, in the construction of the orchestral tutti – the application of the cardinal principles of “order, coherence and proportion” (“Ordnung, Zusammenhang und Verhältniß”).

In connection with the preparation of a dedicated catalogue, the acronym GV (‘Guerra Verzeichnis’) has been created to bring together all this composer’s works, which subdivide into orchestral music (GVo), vocal music – sacred and secular – (GVv), chamber music (GVc), arrangements of (or preparatory studies for) orchestral compositions (GVr) and music for one instrument (GVi), arriving at a total of 133 titles.

Successivamente, ma non oltre la fine del secondo decennio del Settecento, Vivaldi ha invece inteso il concerto per due violini come un ‘ampliamento’ del concerto solistico.

This aria – which is preserved in the Cathedral of Guatemala and transmitted in four non-autograph separate parts without a score – has one literary text (“O bien amable”) in the soprano part and a different one (“O golpe suave”) in the guideline of the basso continuo part. Source-critical and musical analysis of the composition, based on the significant differences identified in these two separate parts, can clarify why two separate verbal texts exist and show which one was originally used for the music.

If in one side their surveys and cataloging have been the topic of very important and prestigious studies, on the other side there is a lack of high quality critical editions based on the latest philological knowledge. A good example is the printed collection of the ‘Pensieri ariarmonici’, twelve Concerti a cinque op. I (Amsterdam, Roger & Le Cène, ca. 1720-21) by the Italian composer Giacomo Facco (1676-1753), kept in the Colegio de las Vizcaínas in Mexico City. This collection was published entirely by Uberto Zanolli (México, FONCA, 1965), and printed more than once (1995 and 1997). However, this modern edition, which is still used, is very problematic: in fact, Zanolli didn’t understand the typical structure of the venetian ‘concerto a cinque’ in the organization of the three violins parts, he did not always offered a correct way of the notation’s system of the accidentals used in Italy during the eighteenth century, neither he offered the figured bass added by the Dutch editors. The article offers an example of realization of a new critical edition of the Facco’s Op. I, based on updated philological criteria.

Some of these sources appear to be fair copies (being totally void of evidence of correction and written in a neat and regular hand), while others bear evidence of second thoughts that must have been almost contemporary with the original creative act. The article describes and analyses Vivaldi’s compositional methods, for example his recourse to “juxtaposed modules”. It also draws attention to many other aspects, including the composer’s constant striving for ‘optimum’ proportions in his ritornello-form movements, which he achieves by reducing the number of modules in his sequences (a step that sometimes results in changes of harmonic direction); to the presence of cuts (which may be either definitive or subsequently reversed); to the deliberate ‘deformation’ of regular phrase-structures; and to his practice of shortening (or sometimes not shortening) the final Tutti.
