Luigi Dallapiccola, Part II, 2024
This Week in Classical Music: March 4, 2024. Luigi Dallapiccola, Part II. Last week, we ended the story of the Italian composer Luigi Dallapiccola at the beginning of WWII. Mussolini’s fascist state had passed race laws that restricted the civil rights of the Italian Jews, affecting Dallapiccola directly, as his wife was one of them. Later laws would strip the Jews of their assets and send them into internal exile. Italy was no Germany, and these laws weren’t enforced by the Mussolini fascists as they were by the Nazis: no Italian Jews were killed by the regime just because they were Jews (many political opponents of Mussolini were imprisoned and executed, and some of them were Jewish). That state of affairs abruptly changed in 1943 when the Italian army surrendered to the Allies, and in response, the Nazis occupied all of the northern part of Italy.

The problem we have is that we missed several very significant anniversaries: for example, George Frideric Handel‘s – he was born on February 23rd of 1685; also, one of the most interesting German composers of the 16th century, Michael Praetorius, was born on February 15th of 1571. We missed the birthday of Francesco Cavalli, a very important composer in the history of opera, on February 14th of 1602. Two famous Italians were also born during those three weeks, Archangelo Corelli on February 17th of 1653 and Luigi Boccherini, […]
