SUBJECTS OF PIANO LITERATURE AND MUSIC THEORY: MUSIC-THERAPY

Music therapy. This term formed by two words (music and therapy) can make us think of an imprecise association, as the first refers to art and the other to science. We take a step back: If we think in the history of humanity', we find sound everywhere. Music is at the heart of people’s lives and plays a decisive role both in their daily lives and in evolution (eg: Hymen, wedding song...). Who has never sung a "lullaby" to make children calm and fall asleep? At the heart of mythology, we find singers, shamans, magicians and doctors... Man possessed by evil (in every sense) has resorted to music/magic invoking spirits through singing to free himself. The aim is to implement a "therapy" to restore order, well-being and harmony through music. So music and medicine have the same roots. The idea of musico-therapy has known through the ages moments of glory and moments in which it has 'eclipsed, due to associations more or less "magic'/religious/ psychological" and/or show. Although it may seem like a reflection of a fashion, the mere fact that it has been talked about since the history of humanity', there should be something true! Great philosophers speak of it: Plato considered rhythm and music capable of calming the irritability of the human soul; Thomas Hobbes (died in 1679) sang at night he had no time of day to prolong his life and prepare for a serene death. ; Lessing argues that the arts provoke an inner catharsis that leads to purification; Kepler: cosmic movements are nothing more than a continuous polyphonic music; Pythagoras: with matumatics affects the whole universe.... and so on. Beethoven himself maintained that His duty was to meet His art to suffering humanity! The truth is that music can touch the soul without going through reason and invisibly! You do not need to touch it, taste it, look at it... yet it penetrates us deeply and manages to transform us: music has its own grammar and syntax, but not for this it needs the word. To speak in more modern times, a musical therapy treatise dates back to 1748 and was written by an English physician and musician, Richard Brocklesby In Italy the first traces date back to the '800 and in Paris in 1880 in mental hospitals were organized concerts (although, sometimes, certain situations were not easy to manage and degenerate...). Very often the role of 1' musicotherapeuta is attributed to the singer (castrato) Carlo Maria Michelangelo Nicola Brioschi, aka Farinelli, born in Adria (1705-1782; Puglia, but at that time still under the Kingdom of Naples), called by Elizabeth Farnese of Spain to relieve the depression of and Philip V through singing. But before him, Matteo da Sassano (1667-137-Naples) invited to the service of the Bavarian Court by Queen Maria Anna Moburg for King Charles II; Gaetano Majorano (nicknamed "Caffarelli" 1710-1783) ... On a more scientific level, in psychiatry above all, music is used for problems of autism, dyslexia, anxiety, autogenic training, insomnia, even it seems that the concert for 53 percussions by Bela Bartok is useful against phobias... Age is responsible for a physical decay, a progressive inadequacy in the end, it is part of a whole with medicine in the search for a therapeutic efficacy in everything that concerns the human being, in a holistic vision, as a humanistic discipline. What is asked of music therapy is relief, encouragement, rebirth, taste of life and interests; in essence, once again music comes to the aid of man.
