Methods of musical and editorial work by Salvatore Viganò: The tragedy-ballet «La Vestale
Abstract
The article is devoted to the consideration of music, comprising the compiled score of S. Vigano’s ballet «La Vestale». The issues of musical drama are highlighted in the context of the theatrical and ballet tradition, which involves the independent work of the choreographer in selection and adaptation of the music for the ballet. The musical text of the composition is analyzed, sources are identified, and techniques of Vigano’s musical and editorial work are studied. The conclusion is done about innovative achievements in the field of musical drama: improving his compositions, the choreographer developed a system of original methods that became signs of his author’s musical style. In the performances of Vigano, musical drama served to embody the author’s intention and was intimately intertwined with the dance and dramatic content of the choreodrama.
