Angelo Berardi da SantAgata Feltria (1636 – 1694) Sinfonie à Violino solo o Violoncello Piccolo Mauro Valli, 5 string Violoncello Piccolo. The immeasurable vastness of our musical patrimony, far from being completely explored, still hides extraordinary surprises, like a great musician from the xvii century, born in Romagna and still largely unknown. Angelo Berardi from SantAgata Feltria, a music theorist and the author of several writings, also composed a significant body of work, mostly of a sacred nature, serving as Chapel Master in Viterbo, Tivoli, Spoleto and at Santa Croce in Trastevere, Rome. Among his instrumental scores are the Sinfonie a violino solo, structured as recitatives where the solo violin, supported by the long-held notes of basso continuo, creates frequent dissonances, unexpected modulations, unusual melodic arabesques and sudden changes of register in a sort of recitar suonando (acting while playing).
