Fellow Posted December 28, 2005 Report Share Posted December 28, 2005 Hi all, I only know two pieces of Tartini's music,; one is his The Devil's Trill. It is so good I love to play these pieces. Do you? I have played this piece before but I rushed through it and missed everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techfiddle Posted December 28, 2005 Report Share Posted December 28, 2005 Hi Yuen: I like Tartini, but I like Vivaldi better. Vivaldi is better than sex! (sorry)... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fellow Posted December 28, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2005 I know what you mean. Seductive yet never get one into trouble. I am talking about music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techfiddle Posted December 28, 2005 Report Share Posted December 28, 2005 Yes, there's something about The Red Priest, I'm not sure what it is; you can tell it's Vivaldi in a measure or two. I think if you analyzed it, you might find something, but I don't know what it is offhand. Maybe because he was composing for all those nuns! (orphan girls, actually) Some people don't like Vivaldi (and some don't like Mozart..I can't relate to that)..the saying, "Vivaldi wrote one concerto 500 times" and referring to it as "sewing machine music." I don't agree. Corelli is like that sometimes, too, but it's in the sequences and the violinistic virtuosity of some of the works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guta Posted December 28, 2005 Report Share Posted December 28, 2005 Interesting you should bring up " Vivaldi being better than sex" - from what I understand, he did have an eye for the ladies! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techfiddle Posted December 28, 2005 Report Share Posted December 28, 2005 >> Vivaldi is better than sex. Yes, but wonder why that is. Someone smarter than me could probably explain that. Something to do with the harmonic or formal construction? What makes Vivaldi sound like Vivaldi, and no one else? I would love to know the answer.

Selim Posted December 28, 2005 Report Share Posted December 28, 2005 I don't know why, some people find his music not complex enough or a kind of shallow or what ever, .. Several times I saw big mustache hillbillies in central Turkey, they were listening Vivaldi. I think his music is bit format programming , platform independent, and very human, pure emotion. Well, I can say It is as good as sex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techfiddle Posted December 28, 2005 Report Share Posted December 28, 2005 Yeah; let's not push this issue or we'll get in trouble on here. I don't mean to be inappropriate, but it is so gorgeous. Anything Vivaldi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MANFIO Posted December 28, 2005 Report Share Posted December 28, 2005 There are some very good CDs with Tartini's music recorded by Elizabeth Wallfish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techfiddle Posted December 28, 2005 Report Share Posted December 28, 2005 Locatelli Trio? There are some sound files on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/gp/produ...ssical&v=glance&n=5174 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrLucky Posted December 29, 2005 Report Share Posted December 29, 2005 Does G Tartini go well with Tartini Green? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MANFIO Posted December 29, 2005 Report Share Posted December 29, 2005 Yes, the Locatelli Trio, I love their recordings, their Corelli is particularly good, but Walfish plays also Tartini concerti in a 3 CD set called "L'arte del Violino" or something like that.

dr461 Posted January 1, 2006 Report Share Posted January 1, 2006 I've used the Devli's Trill sonata as a concert piece for many years. It is great. However, I would not go on gushing about Tartini as a great composer. He was a prominent violinist of his time, and that piece is one of a few that survived. I'd say that a comparison of Tartini to Vivaldi (or heaven forbid) Bach would be unfair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
