Esplorando Beethoven

Roma sabato 13 febbraio alle 17.30 per i concerti della IUC nell’Aula Magna della Sapienza. Il ciclo di concerti che il Quartetto di Cremona ha iniziato due anni fa e concluderà l’anno prossimo. Questa volta sono in programma i Quartetti in sol maggiore op. 18 n. 2 e in fa maggiore op. 59 n. 1. Nei giorni scorsi il Quartetto di Cremona è stato segnalato come Music Chamber Choice of the Month dal BBC Magazine, il più importante mensile musicale inglese, il cui critico Michael Tanner ha scritto: “Questo è il più emozionante nuovo disco di un quartetto d’archi che mi sia capitato di ascoltare da molto tempo in qua”, “esecuzione stupenda”.I diciassette Quartetti di Ludwig van Beethoven sono capolavori paragonabili alle nove Sinfonie e costituiscono la vetta della musica da camera di tutti i tempi. Il loro ascolto è un viaggio nella personalità di uno dei più grandi geni della musica di tutti i tempi ed è un’esperienza ineludibile, che tutti devono fare e anche ripetere, perché ogni ascolto consente di capire più profondamente questi capolavori e di scoprirne nuovi aspetti.Beethoven compose i suoi primi Quartetti relativamente tardi, quando si era già cimentato con la Sonata, il Trio, il Concerto e la Sinfonia: probabilmente ciò dipese dal fatto che il Quartetto era considerato un genere musicale riservato ad un esigente pubblico di esperti, i cui giudizi erano particolarmente severi.Aveva ventotto anni nel 1798, quando compose il Quartetto in sol maggiore op. 18 n. 2. Questa tonalità era impiegata da Beethoven particolarmente per situazioni scherzose e di capriccioso umorismo e tale è effettivamente il carattere del secondo, terzo e quarto movimento. Il primo movimento sembra invece un dialogo garbato e sospiroso tra i quattro strumenti, tanto che un tempo veniva definito in modo poco felice “quartetto dei complimenti”. Tutti i movimenti hanno in comune una costruzione più minuziosa, un’architettura più complessa e una trama contrappuntistica maggiore rispetto al precedente Quartetto di Beethoven.Il Quartetto in fa maggiore op. 59 n. 1 è uno dei tre dedicati da Beethoven al principe Rasumowsky, ambasciatore russo a Vienna, grande appassionato di musica e mecenate del migliore quartetto del tempo. Scritti tra il 1805 e il 1806, questi tre Quartetti appartengono al secondo stile beethoveniano, accanto al “Fidelio”, alle Sinfonie n. 3 “Eroica” e n. 5 e alla Sonata “Appassionata”. Il compositore ora non si sente più vincolato agli schemi settecenteschi e lo si percepisce già dalla melodia iniziale di questo Quartetto, che cammina con passo energico e sicuro, come chi vada incontro all’avvenire con fiducia. È un lavoro nuovo e originalissimo sotto il profilo melodico e formale, il cui culmine è l’Adagio molto e mest”, un dei grandi colpi d’ala beethoveniani. Brillantissimo il movimento finale, in cui è incastonato un motivo popolare russo, in omaggio a Rasumowsky. Il nome del Quartetto di Cremona nasce dal fatto che, quando nel 2000 hanno deciso di dar vita a questo ensemble, i suoi quattro componenti (Cristiano Gualco e Paolo Andreoli violini, Simone Gramaglia viola e Giovanni Scaglione violoncello) studiavano all’Accademia Stauffer di Cremona, ma è anche un omaggio alla città in cui gli Stradivari e i Guarneri crearono i loro insuperabili violini. Il quartetto di Cremona è regolarmente ospite dei principali festival e rassegne in Europa, America del nord e del sud e Australia: Beethovenfest di Bonn, Bozar di Bruxelles, Konzerthaus di Berlino, Wigmore Hall di Londra, Perth Festival in Australia, Coliseum di Buenos Aires e Metropolitan Museum di New York sono tra i palcoscenici da loro calcati. In campo discografico, nel 2011 è uscita per la Decca l’incisione integrale dei Quartetti di Fabio Vacchi e nel 2015 ha concluso l’integrale dei Quartetti di Beethoven, per la quale ha avuto la nomination all’International Music Award per la musica da camera. È testimonial del progetto “Friends of Stradivari”. (foto: quart cremona)

China’s Precarious Global Power Status

For the first time, the Mercator Institute for China Studies (MERICS) will be present at the Munich Security Conference. The Berlin based think tank will focus on current contradicting developments in China with two events. China’s diplomats have never been more active on the global stage than in the past two years. The Chinese government has expanded the scope of its activities in the region as well as its global reach. By abandoning traditions of relative restraint and adjusting key priorities of its foreign policy, Beijing has embarked on a new course in global affairs. Yet there are fundamental challenges to China’s expanding international role. “China is turning into a precarious global power as it confronts an increasingly complex international environment at a time when it undergoes the most challenging period of its domestic economic transformation for decades”, said Sebastian Heilmann, President of MERICS. “The way in which the PRC leadership applies its domestic policy approaches to international issues will be the ultimate test of its global leadership aspirations.”
The Mercator Institute for China Studies (MERICS) in Berlin was set up by Stiftung Mercator in 2013. MERICS has grown into one of the biggest independent institutes of its kind around the world, dedicated to the policy-oriented research into and knowledge of contemporary China.
MERICS strives to provide a more nuanced and better-informed perspective on China in Europe. Based on in-depth research and up-to-date analysis, MERICS aims to enrich and improve the public debate on China. It serves as a key contact for the media on a broad spectrum of China-related issues. At the same time, MERICS provides analysis to European decision-makers in politics, business and other areas of society.

Il Carnevale 2016 vola via sulle ali del Leone di San Marco

L’immensa bandiera di San Marco vola sulla Piazza nuovamente gremita al crepuscolo del Martedì Grasso. È lo svolo del Leon che, sulle note dell’Inno di San Marco, come da tradizione chiude il Carnevale risalendo dalla Piazza al Campanile. Una kermesse che a San Marco ha visto protagonisti mestieri e arti, teatro e musica e oggi anche tanta bellezza con la proclamazione di Claudia Marchiori come Maria del Carnevale 2016, la splendida ragazza di Favaro cui il

destino ha offerto in regalo, nel giorno del suo ventunesimo compleanno, il bagno di folla in Piazza San Marco. “È tutto bellissimo e io sono già mentalmente pronta per volare l’anno prossimo come Angelo del Carnevale,” ha dichiarato la nuova Maria del Carnevale, incorniciata da un elegantissimo abito dell’Atelier Pietro Longhi e truccata dal salone di bellezza Monika e Umberto, mentre dal palco i BrassOperà intonavano le note del “Libiamo” e schiere di camerieri raggiungevano il pubblico distribuendo calici di Bellini offerti dall’Harry’s Bar. Sul palco-ponte del Villaggio delle Meraviglie protagonisti anche Irene Rizzi, Maria uscente, Giovanna Pagan, la Maria più votata dai lettori de il Gazzettino, e naturalmente il Principe Maurice Agosti oggi nelle vesti di Casanova.
Presenti all’emozionante Svolo del Leon, insieme a Marco Maccapani, direttore artistico del Carnevale 2016, anche il sindaco di Venezia Luigi Brugnaro, il Prefetto Domenico Cuttaia, l’assessore al turismo Paola Mar, il consigliere delegato alla Tutela delle Tradizioni Giovanni Giusto e l’amministratore unico di Ve.La Piero Rosa Salva.
Ricordiamo che il laborioso Villaggio delle Meraviglie di Piazza San Marco, aperto al popolo del carnevale da sabato 30 gennaio ad oggi, è stato reso possibile grazie alla collaborazione di El Felze, Consorzio Vetro Artistico di Murano Promovetro, Atelier Nicolao, Atelier Pietro Longhi di Francesco Briggi, Consorzio dei Mascareri, Consorzio dei Tajapiera, Politecnico Calzaturiero del Brenta e gli storici tessutai, Bevilacqua, Fortuny, Rubelli.

Unioni civili e stepchild

“Renzi dice che la stepchild adoption non è un punto centrale del disegno di legge sulle unioni civili. Se questo é vero, e certamente è vero, cosa impedisce che essa venga stralciata per fare in modo che la legge sulle unioni civili possa essere approvata con il consenso corale del Parlamento e del popolo italiano? Nella sede proprio, in sede di revisione del sistema delle adozioni, si potrà procedere ad un esame più attento e più sereno. Forse in quella sede si potranno trovare punti di incontro che oggi sembrano impossibili. Noi siamo convinti delle nostre ragioni ma siamo disponibili ad ascoltare quelle degli altri. Siamo pronti a cambiare la nostra posizione se ascolteremo ragioni convincenti ma chiediamo a quelli che la pensano in modo diverso da noi la medesima disponibilità” lo dichiara Rocco Buttiglione, vicepresidente vicario dei deputati di Area popolare.
“Renzi dice di rigettare senza equivoci l’utero in affitto. Bene, siamo d’accordo con lui. Noi però pensiamo che la stepchild adoption apra la strada all’utero in affitto. È vero che l’affitto dell’utero è proibito dalla legge esistente ma è anche vero che molti affittano un utero in un paese povero, strappano il bambino alla madre all’atto della nascita per poi adottarlo in Italia. La pratica è diffusa, chi lo ha fatto se ne vanta in televisione e incita altri a seguire il suo esempio. La stepchild adoption incentiverebbe questa pratica, la faciliterebbe, rischia di trasformarla in una pratica di massa” spiega Buttiglione.
“Quando sentiamo alcuni politici che dicono esattamente il contrario di quello che Renzi ha detto, e cioè che la stepchild adoption è essenziale alla legge, tanto che la legge senza la stepchild adoption non merita di essere votata, noi sentiamo crescere nel cuore la nostra preoccupazione, ci sembra evidente che sotto la stepchild adoption si celi la legalizzazione di fatto dell’utero in affitto. Crediamo, alla luce delle sue ultime dichiarazioni, che la stessa preoccupazione debba avere anche il Capo del Governo” conclude.

Sol.Id. incontra i governatori delle regioni colpite dal terrorismo in Siria

Tartous. La delegazione dei volontari europei della onlus Solidarité Identités ha incontrato, nel corso della missione “emergenza Siria 2016” i governatori delle regioni colpite dal terrorismo islamista. Nel percorso intrapreso dalla missione infatti è stato possibile essere ricevuti dal governatore del distretto di Homs, città devastata dagli attacchi, e dal governatore di Tartous, una delle “città dei martiri”, chiamate così per l’elevatissimo numero dei caduti, molti dei quali volontari, nella guerra al terrorismo. Nel governatorato di Homs ai volontari è stato mostrato un video e delle tabelle grafiche sull’incidenza dell’azione terroristica sulla zona con particolare evidenza sui danni ingentissimi alle infrastrutture sociali e produttive locali, inoltre i volontari hanno potuto visualizzare con esattezza le zone definite “rosse” dall’amministrazione dove ancora operano gruppuscoli di terroristi e bande armate. “Con l’aiuto dello Stato e della presidenza della Repubblica”, afferma il governatore, “questa città risorgerà dalle ceneri come il simbolo della Siria che riparte”. Poi in esclusiva mostra i progetto di restauro e ricostruzione della città ai delegati ringraziandoli della visita e pregandoli di fare il possibile per riportare in Europa la verità sul conflitto in Siria.Invece a Tartous, nello splendido palazzo del governatorato, i volontari hanno ricevuto il caloroso “bentornati” dal Governatore che ha ricordato come proprio le acque mediterranee che bagnano le spiagge della città siano state per secoli il veicolo dello scambio culturale e sociale delle grandi civiltà del mediterraneo. Ai delegati ha spiegato come il traffico marittimo che da sempre rappresentava la vocazione principale della regione e del suo porto sia drasticamente calato a causa delle “sanzioni miopi che sono state imposte alla Siria, ma che danneggiano tutta l’Europa, Italia in primis”. Dopo l’incontro i volontari hanno presentato al governatore un dipinto su tela realizzato con l’ausilio di un pittore locale che rappresenta l’unione e l’amicizia tra la Onlus Sol.Id. e la Siria, l’opera è stata esposta sulla facciata del palazzo del governatorato su suggerimento dello stesso governatore che ha ringraziato i volontari dicendogli di poter considerare Tartous la loro “seconda casa”.
