Accanto a 27 quartetti per archi di Ignace Pleyel arrangiati per quartetto con flauto, François Devienne compose 4 raccolte di “Quatuors concertants” per flauto, violino, viola e violoncello…Nel 1975, William Montgomery, autore del più importante studio sulla vita e le opere di Devienne, scrisse che non esistevano copie del 2ième livre. Fu grande la mia sorpresa, quando nel 2003 scoprii che esistevano due copie: una nella biblioteca del compianto Jean-Pierre Rampal, e l’altra nella mia libreria! Mi fu regalata negli anni ‘70, dopo un concerto, da un appassionato di flauto barocco, e a quell’epoca non avevo capito che fosse una tale rarità.
Sono lieto di vedere l’opera 16 pubblicata da Vigormusic: questi quartetti valgono la pena, come gradito complemento ai quartetti di Mozart. La scrittura di Devienne è meno raffinata a livello armonico e compositorio ma è sempre molto idiomatica e melodica.
Beside publishing 27 string quartets by Ignace Pleyel in an arrangement for flute quartet, François Devienne composed 4 collections of “Quatuors concertants” for flute, violin, viola and violoncello...In 1975, William Montgomery, author of the main study of Devienne’s life and works, wrote that no copies of the 2ième livre were extant. Great was my surprise, when in 2003, I discovered that two copies did exist: one in the library of late Jean-Pierre Rampal, and the other on my own book-shelf! It was presented me in the 1970’s, after a concert, by a baroque flute enthusiast, and at that time I did not realize that it was such a rarity.
I am glad to see opus 16 published by Vigormusic: these quartets are worth it, as a welcome complement to Mozart’s flute quartets. Devienne’s writing is less polished on the level of harmony and voice-leading, but always eminently idiomatic and melodious.
