About this exposition

Name: Francisco Javier Lupiáñez Ruiz Main Subject: Baroque Violin Research Coach: Charles Toet Title of Research: New Discoveries of Vivaldi in Dresden Research Question: Is Vivaldi the composer of the Sonata (Mus.2-R-8,74), the Trio Sonata (Mus.2-Q-6) and the Concerto (Mus.2-O-1,45)? Summary of Results: The Schrank II (Cabinet II) collection from the Die Sächsische Landesbibliothek – Staats- und Universitätsbibliothek Dresden (SLUB) is not only one of the most interesting archives open to the worldwide audience thanks to the new technologies but also one of the major archives of Vivaldi's instrumental music. Although the archive had been digitized and studied there are more than 60 sonatas for violin and continuo, around 12 string trio sonatas and most than 50 concertos remaining anonymous. A Sonata for violin and continuo, a Trio Sonata for violin, violoncello and continuo and a Concerto for violin and orchestra captured my attention due its similarities with Vivaldi. Through the analysis of the external features of the sources (paper, watermarks, copyist, etc.) and the analysis of the style and language of Vivaldi and its characteristics, the final goal of this work is to highlight the possibility of a Vivaldi authorship as much as possible. In other words, attempting to put together the strongest proofs and facts that can be used to point to Vivaldi as author of the analyzed pieces. In the light of the results of the present research, the Vivaldi attribution is very consistent. An explanation of the attribution methodology and its application to the pieces will be shown in a slideshow presentation. Biography: Javier was born in Melilla (Spain), where he received several prizes in performing and composition. He has lead ensembles such the Baroque Orchestra of the Superior Conservatory of Salamanca, Baroque Orchestra of Salamanca, the European Baroque Academy of Ambronay and Academia Montis Regalis. As cofounder of the ensemble Les Esprits Animaux he plays regularly in Spain, Portugal, France, Italy, Germany, Japan and The Netherlands, and has recorded for the label Harmonia Mundi. Javier has a baroque violin Verbeek made in 1682 on loan from the collection of The Dutch Musical Instruments Foundation.
