Vol. 54 No. III, 6 (2024): La memoria risonante. Studi e ricerche sulle fonti d’archivio dell’Accademia Musicale Chigiana
The Accademia Musicale Chigiana in Siena preserves an extraordinarily rich archive and library collection: documents, correspondence, musical autographs, manuscripts, iconographic, photographic and audiovisual materials that tell the story of Italian and international music in the 20th century. The studies collected in this volume present the results of new research conducted on these sources, offering new perspectives on the musical life, repertoires and performers that have enlivened the international concert scene over the last hundred years.
Combining scientific rigour and methodological innovation, La memoria risonante shows how the Chigiana archives are not just a repository of evidence, but a living laboratory of musical ideas and practices. In addition to restoring the complexity of historical events, these studies highlight how the memory preserved in the archives can fuel dialogue between the present and the past, helping to redefine the role of music in contemporary society.
