UNA CHITARRA IN FRAC<\/strong>
\r\nVito Nicola Paradiso<\/strong>
\r\nEdizioni Curci, Milano, 2013<\/em><\/p>\n\n

\nLA CHITARRA NAPOLETANA<\/strong>
\nVito Nicola Paradiso<\/strong>
\nEdizioni fingerpicking.net<\/em>\n<\/p>\n\n

Vito Nicola Paradiso, gi\u00e0 autore della felicissima serie della Chitarra Volante<\/em> per\r\nle edizioni Curci, opera didattica tra le pi\u00f9 fortunate e vendute della recente\r\nstoria chitarristica, ci presenta due altre indovinate pubblicazioni, Una chitarra in\r\nfrac<\/em> e La chitarra napoletana<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n

The first collection, published by Curci, is entirely dedicated to Domenico Modugno, one of the greatest authors and performers of Italian song, whose Nel Blu, dipinto di blu<\/em>, with its famous refrain \u201cvolare\u201d, has become a true classic of the genre.<\/p>\n\n

\nParadiso shares with Modugno his birthplace in the same land, Apulia, a region rich in history and musical tradition, and this alone already justifies the particular feeling that animates the work. Moreover, Modugno himself loved accompanying himself on the guitar, and this is a further element that strengthens the proposal.\n<\/p>\n\n

The collection comprises 12 titles, all well known, such as the aforementioned Nel blu, dipinto di blu<\/em>, Tu si\u2019 \u2018na cosa grande<\/em>, Pasqualino maraja<\/em>, Resta cu\u2019 mme<\/em>, Vecchio frak<\/em>, Io mammeta e tu<\/em>, and others.<\/p>\n\n

\nParadiso\u2019s approach is to render the texts, originally entrusted to singing, in an instrumental version on the guitar that does not make one miss the absence of the voice.\n<\/p>\n\n

\nAnd it must be said that the undertaking is entirely successful: the versions proposed by the Apulian guitarist fully achieve the mimesis between the voice and the sound of the guitar, thanks to effective instrumental choices and expressive devices, also making use of ingenious and effective harmonic and rhythmic ideas, thus fully restoring both the expressive essence of the songs and the very nature of their instrumental accompaniments.\n<\/p>\n\n

\nListening to the CD included with the volume confirms this impression, an impression doubly confirmed by those who have had the opportunity to attend the sparkling concerts of the excellent Apulian guitarist!\n<\/p>\n\n

On the same wavelength is the other collection, La chitarra napoletana<\/em>, published by fingerpicking.net, which includes masterpieces of Neapolitan song, themselves true classics on a par with the celebrated late nineteenth-century salon romances.<\/p>\n\n

Here Paradiso includes, at the beginning of each piece, brief historical notes and a series of indications and exercises on how to carry out the various techniques proposed, as in the case of the tremolo in the refrain of \u2018O sole mio<\/em>, the rasgueados of Funicul\u00ec Funicul\u00e0<\/em>, the rapid rubbing of the thumb across the strings in a section of \u2018A vucchella<\/em>, the use of the index-finger \u2018dedillo\u2019 to obtain rapid repeated notes, and the performance of particular harp-like arpeggio patterns in Marechiare<\/em>, as well as much more besides.<\/p>\n\n

The titles completing the collection also include \u2019O surdato \u2018nnammurato<\/em>, Torna a Surriento<\/em>, Guaglione<\/em>, Tu si na\u2019 cosa grande<\/em> \u2014 practically the same version proposed in the Modugno volume, with a few small variations \u2014, Torero<\/em>, Tu vu\u00f2 fa l\u2019Americano<\/em> and I\u2019 te vurria vas\u00e0<\/em>, transcribed for two guitars.<\/p>\n\n

\nThe volume adds a tablature part to the notated score, thus addressing guitarists from a variety of backgrounds, and overall positions itself halfway between a technical method and a collection of pieces.\n<\/p>\n\n

The publication does not include an accompanying CD, but it is possible to listen to the tracks and watch some videos relating to the pieces by visiting the website www.fingerpicking.net<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n

\nOnce again, the validity of the entire work is further and amply confirmed by the effect of the brilliant and expressive performances heard live by the author himself. What else can be said, in closing, except that Paradiso\u2019s guitar flies even higher!\n<\/p>\n\n
