The PIaces
Tuscany draws its modern name from the ancient kingdom of Etruria and its inhabitants, the Etruscans, whose early history is inextricabIy entangled with the rise to power of Rome. The region stretches from the Apennines to the Tyrrhenian Sea and includes, among its nine provinces, Pisa, Siena and Lucca.
The Music
The music chosen for this tour of Tuscany is largely Italian, ranging from the sixteenth-century Milanese Iutenist Francesco Canova da MiIano to the Venetian Vivaldi, the Genoese-born vioIinist Paganini and the opera composers Donizetti, Verdi, Catalani and Puccini. Place is aIso found for appropriate music by the Italian-trained Gluck and from Mozart's ltalian opera Don Giovanni. |
