In the newest instalment of ‘Promenades,’ musicologist Francesco Fusaro brings listeners on a journey into the world of musical forgeries and imitations. Titled ‘Hall of Mirrors,’ the episode delves into the blurred lines between originality and imitation in music. Discover how musicians like Fritz Kreisler and others used the styles of past masters to create new works, sometimes even passing them off as lost originals. The discussion weaves in insights from texts by Gianantonio Bach, Giovanni Certosino and Edward Gaslick.
