Tartiniana seconda for violin and piano is a composition by Italian composer Luigi Dallapiccola. It was composed in 1956 and premiered in Milan the same year. The piece is dedicated to the memory of Italian composer and violinist Giuseppe Tartini. The composition consists of four movements, each based on a theme by Tartini. The first movement, marked "Allegro," is based on Tartini's Sonata in G minor, Op. 1 No. 4. The second movement, marked "Adagio," is based on Tartini's Sonata in G minor, Op. 1 No. 10. The third movement, marked "Allegro vivace," is based on Tartini's Sonata in G minor, Op. 1 No. 13. The final movement, marked "Andante - Allegro," is based on Tartini's Sonata in G minor, Op. 1 No. 9. Dallapiccola's Tartiniana seconda is characterized by its use of serialism, a compositional technique that involves organizing musical elements into a series or row. The piece also features complex rhythms and harmonies, as well as virtuosic passages for both the violin and piano. Despite its modernist tendencies, Tartiniana seconda is also deeply rooted in the tradition of Italian music. Dallapiccola's use of Tartini's themes pays homage to the great Italian composer, while also showcasing Dallapiccola's own unique compositional style. Overall, Tartiniana seconda for violin and piano is a challenging and rewarding work that showcases Dallapiccola's mastery of both traditional and modernist compositional techniques.
