Musical composition by Luigi Dallapiccola From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Partita for orchestra with a solo soprano (Alla memoria di Ernesto Consolo) by the Italian composer Luigi Dallapiccola was composed between 1930 and 1932.[1]
Partita is the work with which Dallapiccola first came to international recognition.[2] Written in memory of the Italian pianist Ernesto Consolo , it is scored in four movements for orchestra, with a soprano solo in the final movement. In a manner analogous to the finale of Mahler's Fourth Symphony, the setting is a childlike medieval Latin lullaby.[2]
The work was premiered at the Teatro Comunale, Florence, on 22 January 1933 by the theatre orchestra under Vittorio Gui, with Laura Pasini as soloist.
