Description Stefano Picciano,  “Alirio Díaz entre la Música Popular y la Música Culta”. Spanish Text. Paperback (Soft Cover). 104 Pages. Published by Ut Orpheus. Description: La trayectoria de Alirio Díaz,  quien nació en una pequeña aldea en medio del desierto del interior venezolano,  es única y extraordinaria.  La vida campesina de sus orígenes,  el trabajo en el campo,  la precariedad económica,  la lucha contra las enfermedades… y al mismo tiempo,  siempre presente – como cuenta él mismo en estas páginas – las ganas de hacer fiesta;  como queriendo festejar la vida,  que es dura,  pero es vida. Este libro describe la trayectoria artística de este ‘campesino que tocaba el cuatro’,  que cuidaba el ganado y se aprendía de memoria la Divina Comedia y que llegó a ser uno de los más célebres virtuosos de la guitarra.  Admirado por Celibidache y por Rodrigo,  ha introducido en sus interpretaciones la riqueza de ese ‘substrato’ que él mismo recuerda siempre con gratitud.  Su ejemplo demuestra que también hoy lo culto y lo popular son – pueden y deber ser – lo mismo. Con la meticulosidad del investigador y el afecto colmo de admiración del discípulo,  el autor,  basándose muchas veces en fuentes y documentos inéditos,  documenta la vida extraordinaria de este hombre y responde al interrogativo que,  en perspectiva,  acompaña su trabajo:  ¿Qué relación existe entre la creatividad espontánea de la música popular y el ‘genio’ artístico que propone ese patrimonio en el lenguaje maduro del arte? Biographical Notes About The Author: After taking his diploma in guitar in 2005,  Stefano Picciano has done some researches in history of guitar after having met with his maestro Alirio Díaz,  with whom he refined his studies on guitar.  Afterwards he obtained his degree in Literature at the University of Bologna with a degree dissertation on the Venezuelan maestro.  Then he attended a masterclass in Musical Didactics at the Music School “G.B. Martini” in Bologna.  He is coauthor of the volume Romolo Ferrari e la chitarra in Italia nella prima metà del Novecento (Mucchi Editore,  Modena,  2009) and is a contributor of specialistic journals.  Besides teaching history of music in schools,  he is doing some musicologic research with particular reference to the presence of folk chanting in the literature of guitar.
