Abstract

The «Scherzi musicali» of the renowned Italian musician Francesco Antonio Pistocchi (1659-1726) – a printed collection of twelve vocal compositions – represent an excellent repertoire for current performers, for whom one of the greatest difficulties is the correct understanding of their poetic texts using three different languages: Italian, French and German. This article provides a Spanish translation of all poetic texts as well as analysis of the structure and text-music relationship of each composition, aspects extremely useful for a correct interpretation.
