In
the foreword to the first volume in this series of Camillo Togni’s
letters and writings, mainly on 20th-century Italian music, the
composer was described as “an extremely tidy person in all aspects of
life – intellectual and manual and in both exceptional or everyday
matters”. Consciously devoted to saving all documents of life from
decay, he took special care over conserving letters, telegrams, rough
drafts, carbon copies and all other evidence – even minimal – of his
cultural and interpersonal relations over a period of fifty years. This
means a very detailed survey can be made of a vast number of letters
and contacts in the most disparate spheres of 20th- century Italian
music.
The same inquiry continues here by presenting the most
significant documents: again letters (received or sent), writings,
studies, jotted notes and memos, this time concerning the wider world
of German or international 20th-century music. One such contact,
insistently sought after with great apprehension, was Arnold Schoenberg
– the key model for Togni’s art from his early days to maturity.
