- According to Dounias the concertos featured in these CDs belong to the second
period of Tartini’s activity. These are perfectly balanced works, in which
the composer from Pirano d’Istria, now in his full stylistic and instrumental
maturity, gives free rein to his fantasy in a consolidated formal context, now
enriched by nuances of the nascent style galant and by the sapid contributions
of Milanese symphonic writing.
- Tartini succeeds in the miracle of living and working just a few miles from
Venice without being much influenced by the style of the Venetian violinist-composers
and by Vivaldi in particular. Every time we analyse and listen to these works
it is astonishing to see how the Istrian musician was able to renew himself
without ever repeating himself, in a continuous shift of shades and attitudes.
- While the Concerto in C major D 7 presents a somewhat bizarre and fanciful
character, the following Concerto in D major D 28, with the martial tones of
its initial Allegro, the relaxed, effusive motion of its calm Andante and the
serene ternary flow of its final Allegro, in the manner of a Minuetto, is a
work of full maturity which already bears clear signs of the influence of the
style galant from nearby Milan.
- The Concerto in G major D 78 has long and rightly been one of Tartini’s
most famous works. Published in the eighteenth century by Boivin, in Paris,
it finds its finest moment in the marvellous, enchanted Largo Andante in a touching
G minor.
- Two different manuscripts exist of the Concerto in D major D 31, one autograph
version in the Antoniana Library in Padua and another, non-autograph copy, in
the Berlin Staatsbibliothek; the two scores have different slow movements (on
our CD we have obviously recorded the Andante assai found in the autograph manuscript
in Padua).
- In the Concerto in A major D 107, after a relaxed Allegro non presto we find
an intense, meditative Grave in E major, supplied with the motto ”Se per
me sentite amore” [If you feel love for me], once again very brief. The
final movement, Allegro assai, then returns to those march rhythms so beloved
of Tartini in his middle period.
