Who we are
As musicologists, Luca Bianchini and Anna Trombetta specialize in uncovering the hidden truths behind classical music’s most celebrated figures. With expertise in paleography and musical philology, we don’t simply research; we dismantle myths. Our work exposes how historical narratives, especially those surrounding Mozart, have been manipulated over time to maintain an inflated reputation. Through rigorous research and critical analysis, we challenge accepted legends and bring overlooked compositions and composers into the spotlight.
Uncovering Music's Hidden Truths
Over the years, we have undertaken diverse projects, including:
Musicological Research: Our extensive research uncovers the lesser-known, often hidden aspects of composers’ lives and works.
Paleographic and Philological Analysis: We specialize in analyzing historical music manuscripts, focusing on revealing the true origins and authenticity of these documents, debunking myths and correcting historical inaccuracies.
Reviving and Rethinking Music
We have undertaken numerous projects that not only revive forgotten musical works but also critically dismantle established narratives in classical music.
Opera Revivals: We meticulously resurrect forgotten operas for modern audiences.
Music Criticism: Our critical work spans decades, with contributions to top publications and CD liner notes for prestigious labels.
Publications and Media: Our books challenge the myth of Mozart, and our research has been featured on platforms like Radio Vaticana.
Teaching and Lectures: We share our insights globally at esteemed events.
A Life Dedicated to Music
We have spent our lives not just reviving forgotten works, but exposing and dismantling the myths and accepted narratives that have distorted music history for too long. With a sharp critical eye and unwavering dedication to rigorous research, we aim to rewrite music history as it truly deserves to be understood.
