Ernesto Becucci, Tesoro Mio, Walzer, Op. 228, Arr. CPE Strauss

From www.cpestrauss.com https://www.cpestrauss.com/pmusic/mio... My orchestration of this waltz by Ernesto Becucci. I went to a concert in France last month where the orchestra members were mostly Italian. The concert was of Viennese style music but mostly with French connections. The conductor said he had been unable to find an Italian waltz composer and thought that there wasn’t an Italian tradition of waltzes. I thought Italian dance composers must have existed in the 19th century and they must have written waltzes as the waltz was the predominant dance form in the western world. It’s possible that they just had a low profile internationally. Some Googling on my return produced this piece. Ernesto Becucci was successful locally but this piece was an enormous hit. There are lots of early recordings of it but I only found one modern version and that had been cut. The first tune had revivals as pop songs in both France and England. It has some pretty tunes but I wasn’t impressed. The tunes are resolutely on the beat with no cross rhythms and there’s just no swing to it at all. There’s no Viennese flavour but perhaps that wasn’t the fashion in Italy in the 1890’s. It perhaps didn’t help that I came to this off the back of a superb Lanner waltz and am following it with one by Schrammel which, if it isn’t quite in the same class as the Lanner, is certainly uber-Viennese. Also, it isn’t my best work either. It dates from 1895 and my brain works best 1835-1865. When I played it through, it’s probably too lightly scored for the period, not helped by my inclusion of a harp. If there’s a harp, I want to hear it, which contributes to the overly light orchestration. It’s not terrible; just a bit anachronistic. If I possessed any trace of professionalism I should have rescored it but I thought I had spent enough time on it.
