This book provides the first scholarly history of the viola d’amore, a popular bowed string instrument of the Baroque era, with a unique tone produced by a set of metal sympathetic strings. Composers like Bach made use of the viola d’amore for its particular sound, but the instrument subsequently fell out of fashion amid orchestral standardisation, only to see a revival as interest in early music and historical performance grew. Drawing on literary accounts, iconography, and surviving instruments, this study examines the origins and development of this eye-catching string instrument in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. It explores the rich variation of designs displayed in extant viola d’amore specimens, both as originally constructed and as a result of conversion and repair. The viola d’amore is then set into the wider context of Elizabethan England’s development of instruments with wire strings, and its legacy in the form of the baryton which emerged in the early seventeenth century, followed by a look at the viola d’amore’s own nomenclatorial and organological influence. The book closes with a discussion of the viola d’amore’s revival, and its use and manufacture today. Offering insights for organological research and historical performance practice, this study enhances our knowledge of both the viola d’amore and its wider family of instruments.

Questo lavoro di prosa è composto da quattro episodi che hanno, come filo conduttore, il sentimento amore. I titoli dei singoli episodi sono: L'esca e il cacciatore, Confusione & diritto, Femminicidio, Amore senza amore. Un libro da leggere, una commedia da rappresentare. Io sostengo che "L'amore senza amore" è uno scrigno vuoto, un libro bianco, un bomba ad orologeria messa in mano all'ipocrisia.

IRDA EDIZIONI Emila Simonetti è un'autrice di una sensibilità poetica strabiliante, oserei dire disarmante. Disarmante perché nei suoi versi emerge un po' tutto il senso della poesia e della poetica. Versi, quelli di Emilia, che sono intensi, profondi e al contempo innocenti proprio come l'innocenza che ognuno di noi, come dice Seneca, riscopre nel momento in cui al mattino apre gli occhi. In quegli istanti tutto torna nella sua embrionale purezza come se si vedesse per la prima volta. Allo stesso modo, Emilia, scava nell'io come se vedesse il suo mondo per la prima volta. Un io complesso, intriso di dubbi e di certezze ma affascinato dalla bellezza della vita e dell'amore. Amore che diviene carne ma che non si distacca mai dall'emozione del cuore ...
