XIX International Festival “Zodchesvo in Siberia 2019”

Abstract

The cycle “The Contest Between Harmony and Invention” (it. “Il cimento dell’armonia e dell’inventione”) by an outstanding Italian composer Antonio Vivaldi (1678–1741) consists of 12 concertos for violin, strings and bass continuo.Verbal commenting on music, as well as on architecture, is a thankless job. Music commentators, however, explain this name as an eternal contradiction between traditions and innovations. The slogan of Zodchestvo in Siberia XIX has the same meaning.
