Widowed at an early age, she governed Tuscany as regent, but was deprived of her kingdom and imprisoned, as described bitterly in her memoirs, published in four languages just before the Congress of Vienna. Recent studies have shown that she cultivated a true passion for music as a patroness, collector, and amateur performer. Her music library, containing over 2000 volumes with a very modern and varied international repertoire, and bearing signs of use, is particularly outstanding. Moreover, she is the earliest known female Spanish composer of orchestral music, and one of the earliest in Italy, something that has been overlooked so far. This essay focuses on her four ‘sinfonias’, which date from c.1810–24, considering their compositional and performance contexts, stylistic traits, and probable models. Notably, they are among the earliest works by Spanish composers to adopt the structure of Rossini’s overtures. The Infanta innovatively combines this model with musical topoi, both international, such as the march, and typically associated with the Spanish cultural identity, such as the fandango. Overall, her sinfonias constitute unique works that shed new light on hitherto ignored aspects of Rossini’s reception, early-nineteenth century female composition, and the shared musical history of Spain and Italy.

En la década de 1770 se observa un auge del género en la ciudad, donde entonces se re-edita dicha colección de Boccherini, una de las primeras de este tipo impresas en España. Este trabajo aborda la recepción contemporánea de los dúos de Boccherini en Madrid, poniendo el foco en el mercado musical del momento y el análisis estilístico de las obras conservadas. Se discute en qué medida aspectos específicos de esta colección pudieron resultar novedosos en Madrid, así como su impacto en compositores locales como J. Herrando, M. Plá, J. Castel, G. Brunetti, M. Canales y J. Oliver. Se comparan siete colecciones de distintos compositores aplicando metodologías de estudio novedosas, como una clasificación de texturas musicales basada en los estudios sobre el cuarteto de cuerda de Mara Parker y otros autores.

number of hitherto little-known musical and documentary sources show that his accompanied violin sonatas were known, praised, and imitated in Madrid during the second half of the eighteenth century. Amateur musicians collected this music, and professional musicians performed it in different chamber music venues in the city, as well as composing sonatas that bear clear formal similarities with those of Tartini. The following violinists played a leading role in this process: Domingo Rodil and Bonifazio Zlotek, members of Madrid' s Royal Chapel; Mauro d' Ala y and Christiano Reynaldi, chamber musicians of the widowed queen Elizabeth Farnese, Reynaldi being a probable student of Tartini; and Jakob Leydeck, a German disciple of the Istrian Maestro. Also, a process of canonization of Tartini's works is detected in several essays written in Madrid around the turn of the nineteenth century.

It became increasingly popular in instrumental chamber music, as well-known examples by Domenico Scarlatti, Antonio Soler and Luigi Boccherini show. To date, published musicological scholarship has not considered the role of solo violin music in the dissemination of the fandango or the shaping of a ‘Spanish’ musical identity. Now, eight rediscovered pieces – which can be dated to the period 1730–1775 – show that the violin was frequently used to perform fandangos, including stylized chamber-music versions. In addition to offering evidence of the violin's role in the genre, these pieces reveal the hybridization of the fandango with foreign musical traditions, such as the Italian violin sonata and French courtly dances, demonstrating hitherto overlooked negotiations between elite and popular culture in mid-eighteenth-century Spain. Analysis of these works’ musical features challenges traditional discourses on the ‘Spanishness’ of the fandango and, more broadly, on the opposition between ‘native’ and ‘foreign’ music in eighteenth-century Spain.

La fuente, conservada entre los documentos de Quevedo y su familia, se revela particularmente interesante al constituir un testimonio de la práctica musical doméstica y de la difusión de la guitarra de cinco órdenes entre los siglos XVII y XVIII. Esta fuente, junto a otras estudiadas en los últimos años, demuestra que la guitarra y el violín compartían un repertorio popular e internacional, el cual incluía no solo sones de larga tradición en España, como la jácara y la mariona, sino también danzas extranjeras de reciente introducción, como el minué. Además, este manuscrito testimonia la difusión de dicho repertorio en localidades pequeñas y remotas, y no solo en los principales centros culturales. Esta música se transmitía sobre todo de forma oral, pero fuentes como esta, seguramente producida por y para aficionados, permiten reconstruir las piezas y propiciar así su interpretación en tiempos modernos. (Se incluye una transcripción completa como apéndice.) Abstract: The Archivo Histórico Municipal of Torre de Juan Abad (Ciudad Real), a town known for its relationship with the writer Francisco de Quevedo , keeps a small anonymous manuscript from the early 18th century that contains tablatures for guitar and, to a lesser extent, violin. The source, preserved among the documents of Quevedo and his family, is particularly interesting, for it constitutes a testimony of domestic music making and the dissemination of the five-course guitar between the 17th and 18th centuries. This source, along with others studied in recent years, shows that the guitar and the violin shared a popular and international repertory, which included not only long-established Spanish forms, such as the jácara and the mariona, but also recently introduced foreign dances, such as the minuet. In addition, this manuscript attests to the dissemination of such repertoire in small and remote towns, not only in the main cultural centres. The transmission of this music was mostly oral, but sources such as this one, probably produced by and for amateurs, allow us to reconstruct the pieces and thus foster their performance in modern times. (A full transcription is included as an Appendix).

Changes in performance practice, especially the emergence of Historically Informed Perfomance since the 80s, have given rise to several waves of revival for Herrando’s music, from different perspectives. In this process, key figures of Hispanic musicology and ‘early music’ have participated, including José Subirá, Joaquín Nin, and Emilio Moreno, together with less remembered musicians, such as Josefina Salvador. This process is still ongoing, as shown by recent performances by Fabio Biondi, the finalists of the Francesco Maria Ruspoli Competition, or Concerto 1700.
Herrando’s sonatas have appeared and disappeared intermittently from concert halls, musical editions, and sound recordings, without ever being consolidated in the repertoire, thus justifying new ‘resurrections’ a few years later. This case study shows that the re-premiere is a key element of early-music marketing and that the ‘recuperation’ of forgotten music has to face the pressure of a conservative canon.

RESUMEN
Las sonatas para violín y acompañamiento de José Herrando (Valencia, ca. 1720–Madrid, 1763) han sufrido diversas transformaciones desde la década de 1920, reflejando un proceso de “re-creación” continua que ilustra las últimas definiciones de “obra musical”. Con los cambios de la práctica interpretativa, en especial el auge de la interpretación historicista desde los años ochenta, se han producido varias oleadas de revival de esta música desde distintas ópticas. En este proceso han participado figuras clave de la musicología y la “música antigua” hispanas, como José Subirá, Joaquín Nin o Emilio Moreno, junto a músicos menos recordados, como Josefina Salvador. El proceso continúa vivo, como muestran las interpretaciones recientes de Fabio Biondi, los finalistas del Concurso Francesco Maria Ruspoli o Concerto 1700.
Estas sonatas han ido apareciendo y desapareciendo intermitentemente de las salas de conciertos, las ediciones musicales y las grabaciones sonoras, sin llegar a consolidarse en el repertorio, justificando así nuevas “resurrecciones” pocos años después. Este ejemplo muestra que el re-estreno es un elemento clave del marketing de la “música antigua” y que la “recuperación” de repertorios olvidados se enfrenta al peso de un canon conservador.

Madrid-based composers took part in this European trend, especially from 1770 onwards, as local inventories, advertisements, and musical sources clearly show. More than a hundred violin duets from the Spanish capital have been located, including works by fourteen different composers and anonymous arrangements of fashionable dances. Whereas the dances are generally simple pieces suited to amateurs, the duets attributed to specific composers reflect a wide variety of formal models and technical levels. Furthermore, the genre illustrates the integration of Madrid in the international trade of chamber music: editions from Paris and London quickly reached Madrid, while local composers such as José Castel and Manuel Pla also published sets of duets abroad. In sum, this genre portrays Madrid as an up-to-date musical centre in the field of violin repertoires.

Este giro conceptual está teniendo un enorme impacto en la musicología, vinculando de manera más directa a musicólogos e intérpretes. Las publicaciones sobre la historia de la interpretación, el análisis de grabaciones sonoras o los criterios de ejecución para diferentes periodos e instrumentos, entre otras muchas cuestiones, están a la orden del día. Este auge se ha sentido sobre todo en el mundo anglosajón, con autores como John Rink y Nicholas Cook 1 . En el entorno hispano, estudiosos como Luca Chiantore ya detectaron la necesidad de aplicar estas perspectivas hace tiempo 2 , pero aún queda mucho camino por recorrer para integrarlas en el debate musicológico. La división del sistema español de educación musical en conservatorios y universidades, con orientaciones académicas demasiado diferentes, no facilita tal integración, que sin embargo es posible. Un ejemplo son los recientes congresos sobre performance studies promovidos por el grupo de investigación Música en España: composición, recepción, interpretación (MECRI), que han dado lugar a varias publicaciones 3 .

Sus tres compositores llegaron a ser muy famosos en vida, aunque dos de ellos aún no lo eran tanto cuando las escribieron, pues entonces tenían solamente 16 y 20 años respectivamente. Se trata del austriaco Wolfgang A. Mozart (1756-1791) y del inglés Benjamin Britten , dos niños prodigio separados por siglo y medio, pero cuya producción tiene algunos puntos en común. De hecho, en obras como la que os ofrecemos hoy, Britten siguió el estilo neoclásico, reinterpretando los modelos del clasicismo vienés representado por Mozart y sus contemporáneos. El tercer y último compositor es el alemán Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750), cuya energía desbordante le permitió no sólo componer más de mil obras, sino también cuidar de veinte hijos. Es uno de los máximos representantes del barroco musical, tan recargado y dinámico como el de la pintura o la escultura, tal y como podremos comprobar con la última obra del programa, compuesta hacia los 35 años. El Divertimento KV136 en re mayor (1772) de W. A. Mozart, PROGRAMA W. A. MOZART (1756 -1791)
