Going to a luthier's workshop to try out violins is standard practice for any violinist. Sometimes it is done simply for pleasure, others to check the sound of an instrument that has been repaired, also to give the go-ahead to a set-up and, finally, the one that I consider most important: to acquire an instrument. It is in the latter case that the violinist spends more time performing this test. The instrument, whether ancient or modern, demands a long session, sometimes even whole days, and, in the case of a soloist, the test in a concert hall.
During this more or less long test, the interpreter will execute all kinds of passages of works and different times. He will also dedicate his time to the execution of scales and arpeggios, the definitive aspect to check the homogeneity and equality between the four strings.
Well, I have just composed a work entitled Prova di Violino, of which I will explain its origin. During a visit to the workshop of David Bagué, our great builder, he showed me a new violin that he had just built. I looked at it carefully and was fascinated by its beauty and impeccable workmanship. David asked me "Do you want to try it?"
Although I play much less than before, I did not hesitate for a second and began to issue notes, sometimes of a specific work, sometimes simply improvising. Its sound was magnificent. And I remember that, with your question, your words transported me to Italy, specifically to the workshops of the Milanese liutai, which I visited with some frequency when I studied in that city: "Master, I had a violin", they told me. As if almost sixty years had not passed, that afternoon in David's workshop, I felt the impulse to write a work under the title Prova di Violino specially designed for the test of an instrument where the main technical and expressive virtues of a violin were captured. .
The work had to be complex but also practical and effective. It is written in four movements (Introduzione - Burlesca -Ricordando - Finale) and with a structure similar to that of the sonata. For this reason, and to favor the continuous changes of dynamics, color and expression, I decided to write it for violin and piano.
The work is obviously dedicated to David Bagué.
