Ferdinand Rebay | Guitar Sonata in E No. 2 (1941) | Luiz Mantovani
Музыка
Ferdinand Rebay (1880-1953) was a pioneer among the non-guitarist composers who started to write for the guitar in the 1920s. A genuine composer of guitar sonatas, he was at the centre of the Viennese guitar movement that is associated with the advent of the Vienna Academy's guitar programme, in 1923. Rebay’s music was performed by some of the most important Austrian guitarists of his time, like Luise Walker. However, it was his niece-guitarist, Gerta Hammerschmid (1906-1985), who championed and premiered most of his almost 400 guitar works.
Rebay composed seven solo guitar sonatas, and all of them remained unpublished until recently. The four-movement Sonata in E No. 2 was written in 1941 as a birthday gift to Hammerschmid. However, for reasons not yet clear, the piece was apparently never revised or performed by her. This video brings it to life after 80 years since its composition and is the result of a careful revision of the autograph, grounded on stylistic and technical criteria developed during Mantovani's PhD research on Rebay’s guitar music. It was recorded at one of the most important sites for the composer, the Heiligenkreuz Abbey, thanks to a generous grant received from the Hermann Hauser Guitar Foundation.

Ouvindo novamente, redescobrindo a música. Pleasant surprises! Esse cromatismo do adagio é de derreter a alma...
EXCELENTE OBRA, E QUE EXECUÇÃO CUIDADOSA. CONSEGUIMOS PERCEBER TODO O CUIDADO QUE MANTOVANI TEVE AO ESTUDÁ-LA.
Parabéns Luiz Mantovani pela pesquisa e resgate dessa obra magnífica. Que grande achado para o repertório do violão! Uma obra deste porte estar “perdida” nos arquivos do compositor, é realmente instigante. Por que e como esta obra estava esquecida? Talvez não se encontrem respostas claras, mas o mais importante é que ela tenha sido descoberta e trabalhada por um estudioso que conhece a obra de Rebay, o ambiente no qual ele transitava e as práticas composicionais do período, as quais, se comparadas às deste compositor, permitem encontrar caminhos que levam ao entendimento daquilo que se pode considerar como as “intenções” inscritas no texto musical. E qualidade da gravação, sem a adição de nenhum efeito e valorizada pela acústica da sala, mostra que você está no grupo de poucos guitarristas que realmente sabem como fazer um violão Hauser soar o seu melhor som. Obrigado, Luiz Mantovani! Obrigado GuitarCoop por compartilhar essa joia.
O Mantovani, com a obra do Rebay, trouxe para o repertório violonístico algo que se revelará ainda mais relevante. Parabéns a Guitar Coop pela parceria. Obs.: Não somente para ampliação do repertório do violão, mas como toda musica de câmara.
Wonderful that your research on the original has led to such a wonderful result. It has become a special document that makes the original manuscript from Heiligenkreuz Abbey audible. Congratulation!
Parabéns Mantovani!🎶🌷👏🏻
Complimenti! Bellissimo video e performance.
Po Luiz, que vídeo top, e o que falar desta magnífica obra. Parabéns pela performance. Bravo
Bravíssimo!!!

I don't think there's ever a chord played in this video that is not rolled.

Is this a criticism or a statement? Perhaps if you read my detailed explanation of early-20th-century playing style in Chapter 5 of my Ph.D. thesis, you will understand my choices for arpeggiating chords for expressive purposes!
Lovely playing. Unfortunately I found the composition incredibly boring.
