Guanajuato, Gto., January 30, 2016.- For more than 10 years, Dr. Fabrizio Ammetto, scholar of the Department of Music of the Division of Architecture, Art & Design, Campus Guanajuato; adds to the search of beauty and harmony through an aesthetic-intellectual exercise: the reconstruction and interpretation of Vivaldi's work, within which have been found more than 40 incomplete instrumental compositions.

Dr. Ammetto is a specialist in the music production from the XVII and XVIII centuries and has destined a great part of his research to the reconstruction mentioned before, although he accepts is a process that is not always possible because it is highly complicated to scientifically complete a musical play without incurring in the arbitrary creation.

It is worth to mention that Fabrizio Ammetto is one of the eight members of the International Scientific Committee of "Instituto Italiano Antonio Vivaldi" of Venice, in charge of publishing the critical edition of all the works of "Cura rojo". He has a doctorate in Musicology and Musical Assets (University of Bologna, Italy), a specialty in Musicology and four masters in Violin, Viola, Electronic Music and Musical disciplines.

Up until now, he informed, has worked in 12 reconstructions of Antonio Vivaldi's works that have been played incomplete until 2003, when the musicologist set on completing them. We are talking about the concerts for two violins and orchestra, RV 520, 526 & 528, concerts for violin, organ and orchestra RV 774 and 774, the concert for strings RV 11 and 37, among others.

Dr. Ammetto sustained that the fidelity of the reconstruction with the original composition, is a 95% thanks to not making an arbitrary creation, but a scientific method and never in a play without enough indicators left by the same author, for example, present elements in other compositions, autograph manuscripts deepen the knowledge of the musical language.

For example, in the reconstructions he has made of the concerts for violin, organ and orchestra RV 774 & 775, from which there is only the violin part of the solo and is equivalent to a sixth part of the whole composition, he compares it with the full concerts RV 123, 284 and 285, that share the material in common, and with it, it was possible to scientifically reconstruct the firs movements.

Besides, through the study of the historical archive sources, the researcher and member of the Mexican Academy of Science, had an idea of how were the organs Vivaldi had available in the years of the composition of RV 774 & 775, which provided information for the reconstruction of these compositions.

For the also violinist, the reconstruction project of incomplete musical compositions began as part of an academic research, that transformed into the need to publicly present the works of the past that turn out to be unknown or never heard before, and divulge them through concerts or discographic recordings. In that tune, his first reconstructions date back c. 2003 & 2004.

It was in those years, when he formulated the hypothesis about the possible "authentic" versions of complete compositions, but that has been re-elaborated in their original instrumentation: Symphonies RV 122, 135 and 162 of Vivaldi, whose results were published in an arbitrated magazine and recorded with his Italian music group "L'Orfeo Ensemble".

The plays that Dr. Ammetto has so far managed to reconstruct from this methodology, have been presented in different concerts, both in Mexico and Europe. Likewise, musicians and students have come close to request him as a thesis advisor, to know more about his publications regarding these reconstructions.

"My reconstructions of incomplete Vivaldi's works have gotten the attention of the international musicology community, in fact, my publications derived of these reconstructions have been cited in the repertoires and themed catalogues of the "Cura rojo", he revealed.

Worth to cite that some of these reconstructions from Ammetto presented in past editions of the FIC ("Festival Internacional Cervantino) with the Baroque Ensemble of the University of Guanajuato, a group that he himself integrated in 2008 and still active.

Dr. Ammetto's reconstruction of Vivaldi's works, who is a scholar in the Department of Music of the University of Guanajuato since 2008, and teaches courses among others of musical philology and musical analysis; has been of great interest of several diffusion media, including the Mexican Academy of Science.
