you think he can be an unrepentant libertine
womanizer being turned into a
emblem in an example of love
romantic pure sweet sublime then the
prejudice on a character
essentially negative to be
modified thanks to alterations students
inside a melody
let’s see if and how this can
to happen in the paraphrase on the rigoletto
composed by franz liszt one of the most
great composers of the eighteenth century e
absolutely legendary pianist
around which every kind of has arisen
anecdote both for its abilities
amazing pianos both because it has
He had a very social life
chat and numerous relationships
also little accepted by the era in
which he lived that even today they turn out
quite inconvenient indeed it was
loved by women both for her
very beautiful figure both because we had
an immense culture both as I said
of unprecedented piano skills
well list that has had a life
really varies from absolute master of
the halls of all of Europe were the most
required is the highest paid the most adored
pianist certain point at the apex of the
success has retired to
almost private life to compose for
devote himself to the composition e
even in the last part of his
life and took the minor orders
becoming a good abbot to this
character so exceptional but al
same time so human with gods
concerns that we recognize again
as ours has written many
paraphrase reduction transcripts that
they were a sort of youtube of the time
in fact in a period when not
digital reproduction still existed
sound reproduction is the only way
to use in the city of the province in
places to order luigi for
reasons of logistical order was not
possible to have great orchestras of the
capacious theaters and in the scenes etcetera
the only possibility in these places for
enjoy the symphonic repertoire e
operatic was precisely the reductions le
transcripts paraphrases in practice
paraphrase is almost a transcription
literal of a scene of a work is but
in that almost as we’re going to see there
it can be a huge difference that can
create short circuits that that
they generate considerable differences
especially when the compound paraphrase
from a genius like franz liszt
the work has taken the reel from lists
the scene is the quartet
rigoletto is a work by giuseppe verdi
rigoletto a hunchback who works as
court jester at the duke of
Mantua which is precisely the example of the
personification of the noble without
scruples absolutely contemptuous of the
rights from their subjects a womanizer
etc
well the Duke of Mantua seduces with a
deception pretending to be a student
just the daughter of
rigoletto that its most precious good and the
dishonors to put it with a term a bit
demodé but that appropriate to what
he says his own guild in the opera he says
the shame here despite the wave guild
continues to be in love with the duke e
rigoletto in the scene of the quartet
she wants to show her how much in it
constant and liar and absolutely
not trustworthy is this
in fact, I show it
while he is courting another woman
maddalena is courting her with the same
promises probably with crowns
is quite similar to what it had
made the guild and after this scene
rigoletto to take revenge on the duke e
hires a hitman who is however the
maddalena’s brother and for
intercession of this the assassin who
he should kill the duke he kills to
own guild end also for the
sacrifice of the latter so that
rigoletto finds himself in spite of himself a
sacrifice just what was the
its most precious good
returning to the green quartet
it features with melodic profiles and
absolutely peculiar psychological ones
character so that the nature of the
emotions of the moment is really
very clear the
[Music]
as I told you he is courting
maddalena and her words are those
that we just heard this
video a stretch from my friends
beautiful daughter of the slave love I am
divided yours with a said solto you can le
my pains with solar come and feel of mine
heart i frequent for match
in short, they are very touching words
the point is that they sound enough
mockery in the work because the duke
just sung this one for me even
I am and then the woman is mobile as a feather
in the wind fine of 100 and thought the
case of the decidedly male-dominated area
in which the woman is considered little more
that an object and therefore the words that
they sound a little fake
[Music]
of the melodic profile is very noble and
maddalena responds to this court and
he is almost killing because he is
of course she is very pleased with it
so there seems to be here and many many there
the car from his answer tells her dry
That really makes you such words and taiba
costan little how much is worth your game
mail you believe on appreciated green the
features with detached notes and
that make well the idea of the
character who pretends in some way
of screens from this court but
fundamentally pleases guild instead
is that it is the character that suffers all
this situation naturally has a
very different melodic profile
so she says unhappy core core
betrayed for anguish do not burst and
these words have an evolution in the
course of the roof until you get there
towards the end to play like this
almost as if the guild could not
talk as if they needed to
sobbing between the words so much the
pain to see will assist one
such situation
and then there is a rivulet, in short, it has a
profile more than me that is telling di
guild of not caring about a character
like that because it has not and is not
absolutely deserving of his
caution
and in the meantime he begins to design his own
vengeance
now what happens in the paraphrase of
liszt and the scene does not open with the duke
but it opens up in some way
with him because it is immediately shown there
its consequences or shows us the two
female characters put one later
the other therefore the consequences of the
shares of the duke included in the same
in the same sentence so that we can
compare immediately so there is
maddalena
[Music]
still maddalena a little darker
this introduction continues with
another short page almost harp e
finally comes the scene of the duke and the
difference compared to the original
verdiana is enough is enough
evident because lists plunges him into a
languor is in a melancholy that was not
present in greens certainly not so
obvious and does it by removing all the
rhythmic references these then
immerging this melody almost without
time and then creates dissonances of the
appoggiature of the delays that give to the
character a kind of melancholy and of
sweetness certainly greater than
those that had the original Verdian
and so it’s almost as if the list itself
looking perhaps with a hint of irony
but also with indulgence what is the
behavior of the duke but also that
that it had been maybe hers too
behavior in its first phase
in fact, writing this goes in the second
phase in which totally dedicated
to the composition and then there appears a
character who fully loves whose
truly sincere love, but perhaps in time
determined and thus appears
[Music]
what happens then that this melody
somehow it attracts everything else
from here on then the others for the
melody will be repeated other two others
we see them and the other characters
almost blurred so against the background of
what is the love of the duke and until
after the last cadence after after the last one
repetition of this melody and the
our imaginary bull’s eye
finally shows us guild 15 show
the character who suffers from this
situation and list shows us in that
moment indicates us sweet and with sum
passion a liszt knew Italian
so he could show us for
example with pain or anguish
etc
maybe this choice is not random because
it’s as if the character came from
pain of this character came
transfigured by the love of the wolf as if
the love of the duke was transfigured
this character is not known from pain
but it sounds like this
[Music]
after a repetition of this theme in
key virtuosic that is the
paraphrase is about to end
but where the scene of greens was
ended there is a junta by
liszt reappears the duke but reappears with
a doubt
[Music]
but if you ask but it will still be
all that right
[Music]
maddalena
and now guild
[Music]
and then after a moment of pause it is as if
the duke said but yes who wants to be
glad both of tomorrow there is no certainty
and the phase ends with a passage
very virtuosic it is really exultant
that sounds almost out of place compared to
that sincere doubt that we just have
heard perhaps the doubt that I’m out
place compared to this final so
triumph and it is admitted to me that before
of this scene while the duke already has
started to court at Maddalena
she urges him to be wise and the duke
every wisdom answers to close in
gaudio is in love
now closing means all wisdom yes
leads to its maximum fulfillment in
joy in love or every wisdom
in the presence of joy and love
disappears I do not know is an interpretation
that remains open
I do not know how good it is to give one
moral judgment on this behavior
on this attitude, however, we can
we can see what the tells us
music but listen
