States General of Music - Focus: Education
This year Mondomusica Cremona Pianoforte present a great novelty: the States General of Music. A
unique, rich program presenting several events dedicated to various features from the world of the music
involving key note musicians, associations and institutions. These are currently providing Cremona with an
extraordinary artistic and cultural contribution.
Why the States General of Music?
Mondomusica and Cremona Pianoforte bring back all the components of the world of music, providing a
place to meet and exchange ideas with the goal of further developing the industry in both a commercial
and cultural world.
Why in Cremona?
Today Cremona, thanks to Mondomusica and Cremona Pianoforte, is a special place in Italy where one can
talk and discuss music in an open and professional way.
In over 12 years of activity in the industry, we have built up a network of international connections that
draws on the collaboration of hundreds of associations, institutions, conservatories, schools, key artists and
personalities of international renown, which every year bring to Cremona a high level of art and culture.
Mondomusica and Cremona Pianoforte therefore play a strategic role in the development of the entire
music world: they provide for the different needs of a very diverse sector, and develop ideas to ensure
musical culture can enjoy again the value and recognition that it deserves in Italy and Europe.

How we develop the first States General of Music
First of all, by engaging all the actors involved at various levels in the music industry:
• professional and amateur musicians
• schools and conservatories
• teachers and music students
• researchers
• festivals and competitions
• artistic agencies
• public and private institutions
• instrument makers
• distributors
• publishers
We have planned meetings in which all the actors will have the opportunity to express themselves, to
make suggestions and present ideas, discuss, establish business relations and collaborate.
Most of the meetings will be organized in the format of a discussion panel: a simple but engaging formula,
which allows the different institutions to deal directly with their interlocutors. In addition to these events,
each year there will be many concerts offered by Mondomusica and Cremona Pianoforte.
States General of Music, 2013: The Focus will be on Education
For the first year the States General of Music will focus on education, one of the most important topics for
the participants and which is linked to our hopes to develop the sector.
Understood in a broader sense, music education won’t be limited to teaching, but it will incorporate a 360°
vision: from applied research to the different professions related to the music, from international schools of
piano and strings to the artistic agencies. This represents a common thread that binds all the different
meetings of Mondomusica and Cremona Pianoforte and that represents a unique, extraordinary artistic and
cultural event.

Presentation - The automatic sound of the past: a project to recover the sound rollers for autopiano
Organization: Cremonafiere in collaboration with the University of Pavia, Department of Musicology and
Cultural Heritage
Speakers:
 Pietro Zappalà, Department of Musicology in Cremona, University of Pavia
 Flavio Pedrazzini, AMMI (Italian Mechanical Music Association)
One of the pillars of musical education is certainly the study and the recovery of
the past. In this sense, the States General of Music offer a retrospective on the
sound rollers for “autopiano”. Popular in the late 19th and early 20th century,
the “autopiano” represented an important tool to promote local music in both
public places and at home. The use of perforated rollers via a pneumatic
mechanism connected to the keyboard, secured a worldwide success for this
particular type of sound. This also created a thriving production of rollers
containing, in some cases, tracks and interpretations of great value. The most important Italian
manufacturer at the time was based in Cremona and over 1000 rollers of this production can be found at
the Department of Musicology in Cremona - University of Pavia that has catalogued and plans to digitalize
the repertoire with the most innovative technologies.
The event is dedicated to: professional and amateur musicians, representatives of institutions, musical
associations, cultural foundations, and musicologists

understand the direction of the artistic market, and determine the most
appropriate steps in order to create the best conditions to promote the
development of artistic careers.

The world of the guitar is not so limited as the current discography
would have us believing.
Thanks to young performers such as Giulio Tampalini and Cinzia Milani
who present on this occasion their CDs published by Amadeus and
Amadeus / Rainbow, we realize that there is a lot of music produced
for this instrument that is waiting to be rediscovered.
Giulio Tampalini, winner of some of the major guitar competitions (the
San Remo, President of the Jury Narciso Yepes, the T.I.M. of Rome, the
"De Bonis" of Cosenza, the "Pittaluga" in Alessandria, the "Fernando
Sor" in Rome and the “Andrés Segovia" in Granada) held solo concerts
and accompanied by the symphony orchestras throughout Italy,
Europe, Asia and America. Tampalini runs a guitar course at the
Institute of Musical Studies "Orazio Vecchi" in Modena and is regularly invited to deliver master classes and
courses in Italy and abroad. He has published many CDs including two with Amadeus dedicated to Carulli
and Giuliani.
Cinzia Milani started to study guitar when she was very young at once revealing her talent for her
instrument and was awarded several prizes in Italy and abroad. Today, with her CD that she is presenting at
Mondomusica, she wants to stress the importance of the repertoire of the twentieth century that she is
actively discovering. Moreover, she urges composers to dedicate, with new works, more attention to her
instrument.
The event is dedicated to: professional and amateur musicians, teachers, music students, and amateurs
