Description

The duo of Claudio Fittante, performing on a period guitar, and Alessio Eugenio Durante, viola, is one of the artistic initiatives promoted by the Associazione Culturale Animula – APS as part of the project Music in the Time of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies. The project explores original 19th-century repertoire written for and featuring the guitar, focusing on music composed between 1750 and 1860.

The project encompasses a variety of instrumental and vocal combinations, ranging from solo guitar programs to duos pairing the guitar with flute, viola, fortepiano, or voice, as well as trios for guitar, flute, and viola.

For this performance, the duo presents Ferdinando Carulli’s Due duetti per viola e chitarra (Two Duets for Viola and Guitar), Op. 137.

The instruments used are a 19th-century guitar, dating from approximately 1830–1860, that bears no internal label but clearly reflects the construction principles associated with Gennaro Fabbricatore and/or Luigi Filano, and an unlabeled viola believed to have been made in Eastern Europe.

For more information, please contact the School of Music at (956) 665-3881 or (956) 882-7025.
