Anna Maria dal violin

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Anna Maria dal Violin (* 1696 in Venice ; † 1782 there ) was an Italian violinist and violin teacher. She was a student of Antonio Vivaldi at the Ospedale della Pietà .

Life

Anna Maria dal Violin is mentioned in the files of the Pio Ospedale della Pietà in Venice without a family name, because like most of the pupils she was raised there as an orphan . A music conservatory for girls was attached to the boarding school, the most famous of which is due to the work of the violin virtuoso and composer Antonio Vivaldi, whose pupil Anna Maria was. According to Michael Talbot, Anna Maria is mentioned three times in the Pietà files: 1712, 1720 and 1722. In 1720, at the age of 24, she is dubbed “ Maestra ”. That meant that she could give lessons to younger girls in her school and earn money with them.

She was not only a violinist, but also gave concerts with cello , theorbo , lute , mandolin , harpsichord , oboe (?) And viola d'amore . Vivaldi composed 31 violin concertos and at least two concertos for viola d'amore for her. The title of the latter has the note “AMore”, which means that Anna Maria was the concert soloist on the viola d'amore.

Anna Maria later appeared in the new Chiesa della Pietà as a colleague of Vivaldi (as a soloist?), This concert room made orchestral multi-choir possible. All in all, she lived in the Coro (Conservatory) of the Pio Ospedale della Pietà for the rest of her life, 70 years.

Fame

Under Anna Maria's teacher Antonio Vivaldi, who from 1703 worked at the Pietà as a violin teacher, composer and maestro di concerto , the concerts of the Ospedale della Pietà became a crowd puller, especially for Venice travelers. As a violin soloist, it was one of her duties to perform on Saturdays and Sundays in the well-known church concerts of the Ospedali in Venice, and in doing so she gained public popularity. In the first important German music lexicon by Johann Gottfried Walther , Leipzig 1732, Anna Maria belongs together with Dorothea vom Ried , Élisabeth Jacquet de La Guerre ("Jaquier"), Vittoria Raffaella Aleotti ("Vittoria Aleotti") and Barbara Strozzi ("Strozza") to the instrumentalists and composers with an entry.

"> Anna Maria ', a Italiänerin the hospital alla Pietà in Venice, which on the violin extremely well so ready, as delicately playeth."

Walther cites the eyewitness report of a German traveler to Italy as the source for his article: “ Des Hofraths Nemeitzen's review of special news from Italy, p. 61 ”, whereas, as a further example, the article by composer Jacquet de La Guerre was based on a report in the Paris Mercure Galant . The names of well-known singers at the time are numerous in Walther's dictionary.
