It is around Johann Sebastian Bach that the evening of music and poetry unfolds, that Bach on whom a still adolescent Pasolini wrote an essay of astounding strength and depth. Written in a small ruled notebook, the musical examples in the very young Pasolini’s own hand, the essay on Bach (first drafted in 1944-45) reveals an already extraordinary poetic world, and a penetration of the art of sounds of exceptional maturity. The essay, a true rarity in Pasolini’s literature, will be read by Guido Barbieri, scholar, musicologist, and voice of Radio3, and along with the reading of the essay on Bach, we will hear, in Mario Brunello’s interpretation, the Bachian examples cited in the Pasolinian text concerning the First Sonata and the Third Partita for solo violin, a sonorization of the young Pasolini’s highly original thought. This is followed by the full performance of the Bachian music analyzed by Pasolini, this time on the cello piccolo or “violincello,” a very rare instrument in use in Bach’s time, tuned like a violin, obviously in the lower octave.
