Fiorenzo Carpi

Sei frammenti & piccoli divertimenti

Fiorenzo Carpi was an important - as well as extraordinary - figure in the Italian music of the 20th century. He began his career after World War II as a composer in the field of linguistic research. He contined in the theatre, with Giorgio Strehler and the Piccolo Teatro of Milan, among others; and also wrote popular songs as well as music for television and the cinema. The pieces collected in this volume come from different phases of his career: pure linguistic research (Sei frammenti), to music for the theatre (Sei piccoli Divertimenti). A precious resource for both professional violinists who want to enrich their repertoire and students who wish to explore musical styles that go beyond the Art Music tradition, we have added fingerings and bowings to the violin part to assist the latter.
