Amedeo Modigliani in Worldwide Museums: 18. Pinacoteca di Brera


 








 

How are you?

The 18th place I would like to introduce for this week is The Pinacoteca di Brera.

The Pinacoteca di Brera ("Brera Art Gallery") is the main public gallery in Milan, Italy. Housing some of the most important collections of Italian paintings from the 13th to the 20th centuries, it is an outgrowth of the cultural program of the Brera Academy, which shares the site in the Palazzo Brera.








The convent on the site passed to the Jesuits in 1572 and was then radically rebuilt by Francesco Maria Richini. When the Jesuits were disbanded in 1773, the palazzo remained the seat of the astronomical Observatory and the Braidense National Library, founded by the Jesuits. The buildings were extended to the design by Giuseppe Piermarini, who was appointed professor of the Academy when it was formally founded in 1776, with Giuseppe Parini as dean. Piermarini taught at the Academy for 20 years, and under Parini's successors, Carlo Bianconi and Giuseppe Bossi, the Academy acquired the first paintings of its Pinacoteca.





In 1882, the Paintings Gallery was separated from the Academy and Giuseppe Bertini was appointed as its first director. In 1903, the Pinacoteca opened 19 new rooms to display over a hundred newly acquired works, such as frescoes by Donato Bramante.












In 1939, during World War II, Pinacoteca's works were secured by Fernanda Wittgens, while the building was severely damaged in the bombings in 1943. In February 1946, The Pinacoteca began its slow resurrection from the ruins, thanks to the funding from some historic Milanese families, including the Bernocchi family, and to the work of Piero Portaluppi, Gualtiero Galmanini and Fernanda Wittgens.

The works of Modigliani currently in the possession of The Pinacoteca di Brera are as follows.
















Happy New Year!!!


Thank you.

Interesting Music Story: 3. Les préludes, Franz Liszt

 



 
















How are you?

The third selected music is “Les préludes” by Franz Liszt.

“Les préludes” is the third of Franz Liszt's thirteen symphonic poems. It was composed between 1845 and 1854, and created as an overture to Liszt's choral cycle “Les quatre élémens”, then revised as an independent concert overture, with a new title referencing a poem by the French poet Alphonse de Lamartine. Liszt conducted the work's premiere on February 23, 1854, and the score was published in 1856 by Breitkopf & Härtel, the world's oldest music publisher.


Alphonse de Lamartine

















Liszt's "Les préludes" is the earliest example of an orchestral work titled "Symphonic Poem" and the final revision of an overture initially composed for a choral cycle "Les quatre élémens", based on four poems by the French poet Joseph Autran: La Terre (The Earth), Les Aquilons (The north Winds), Les Flots (The Waves), Les Astres (The Stars).

Among them, chorus “Les Aquilons” was composed in Marseille in 1844 in a version for male chorus with accompaniment for two pianos, and the first sketches for the overture of “Les quatre élémens” was made in 1845, when Liszt traveled to Spain and Portugal.

However, after the partly orchestral parts had been composed, the choral cycle project was abandoned, and the overture was revised as an independent work in 1853-54 with a new title inspired by an ode "Les préludes" by the French poet Alphonse de Lamartine.

“Les préludes” is written for a large orchestra consisting of strings, woodwind, brass, harp, and various percussion instruments. To realize the orchestration, Liszt was helped successively by two composers, first the Swiss composer Joachim Raff for the score in 1849-50, and then Hans Bronsart von Schellendorff for the revision in 1853-54, and then for minor revisions before being published in Breitkopf & Härtel in 1856.


Joachim Raff














However, the work was challenged decades after the composer’s death by the dark history that the composer himself never intended in his work. Its history was an association with Adolf Hitler and the Nazi, and Liszt's "Les préludes" was banned from public performance after the war because it was used for Nazi propaganda when announcing their victories during World War II.


Thank you.
