Abstract

Luigi Sagrini's opus 4 on a "Thême de Racio Calupo" was dedicated to Luigi Legnani in 1825. No composer or composition with this title could be located. Since Legnani dedicated two of his editions to Sagrini around 1825 this points to a connection between the two artists. This letter details the discovery of the source of the theme.

Notes

This letter pursues a thread from Robert Coldwell, “Luigi Legnani’s Missing Opus 9,” Soundboard Scholar 8 (2022), which explores the particular circumstances of the discovery of Legnani's opus 9, focusing on Legnani’s possible contact with the French guitarist Luigi [Louis] Sagrini (1809–74).
