CANONE INVERSO (MAKING LOVE)

CANONE INVERSO (aka MAKING LOVE) is a movie directed in 2000 by Ricky Tognazzi. Ennio Morricone has composed the fascinating score featuring the two main themes called FINALE DI UN CONCERTO ROMANTICO INTERROTTO PER VIOLINO, PIANOFORTE (IN CANONE) E ORCHESTRA and CANONE INVERSO that gives the title to the movie. This is a piece for two violins, based on a melody played by the first violin in a classical manner, while the second plays it from the end toward the beginning, and is then followed by a coda. This type of contrapuntal writing, in fact, is defined as retrograde canon; fact, a canon inverse properly said is a composition in which the second voice performs the same intervals as the first, but in contrary motion (for example, a third ascending in the first voice will become a descending third in the second). Ennio Morricone also includes in his original compositions songs of the classical repertoire by himself elaborated as CAPRICCIO LA CACCIA by Paganini, CIACCONA by Bach, SONGS THAT MY MOTHER TAUGHT ME by Dvorak. An OST that is back on the market after thirteen years of the theatrical release with remastered sound and enriched by a 12 pages color booklet, illustrated with archive photos.--- from the label.
