FOLIO: Suonata prima Per Mandolino e Cembalo
This composition stands as a significant testament to the chamber music output of Michele Bolaffi and, in particular, to his contribution to the mandolin repertoirean instrument that, between the late 18th and early 19th centuries, still enjoyed widespread popularity in cultured circles, especially within the Florentine aristocracy. Michele Bolaffi's Suonata Prima was first announced in the Gazzetta Toscana on July 26, 1794. It stands out as a rare and precious gem of the late Baroque musical landscape in Tuscanynot only for the refinement of its musical language, but above all for the central role given to the mandolin, here elevated to the status of protagonist in an aristocratic and cultivated setting. With this composition, Bolaffi clearly emerges as a prominent figure in the chamber music of his time, embodying the grace and versatility that distinguish the musicians of the vibrant Jewish and Tuscan cultural scene.
