One of the most innovative results of the Tartini Bis project is the production of five simplified scores of Giuseppe Tartini for use by youth string orchestras.

The most talented and promising students of the two composition classes of the Trieste Conservatory were commissioned to produce the scores.

The difficulty, but also the most interesting and creative aspect of this activity, was the choice of pieces suitable for simplification, so that they could be performed by ensembles of teenagers, while keeping Giuseppe Tartini's compositional intention intact. The focus was naturally on that part of Tartini's compositional corpus already naturally intended for salon and amateur practices such as the Sonatas for Three and Sonatas for Four. In particular, the choice of scores fell on the following eight compositions:

Sonata a quattro il La maggiore GT 5.A01 (riduzione di Roberto Borin)

Score  Violin1  Violin2  Violin3  Viola  Cello

 
Sonata a quattro il Re maggiore Gt 5.D02 (riduzione di Roberto Borin)

Score  Violin1  Violin2  Violin3  Viola  Cello

Sonata a tre in Re minore GT 4.D01 (riduzione di Paolo Fiappo)

Score  Violin1  Violin2  Violin3  Viola  Cello

Sonata a tre in Re maggiore GT 4.D07 (riduzione di Paolo Fiappo)

Score  Violin1  Violin2  Violin3  Viola  Cello

Sonata a tre in Do maggiore GT 4.C04 (riduzione di Matteo Schönberg)

Score  Violin1  Violin2  Violin3  Viola  Cello

Sonata a quattro il Sol maggiore GT 4.G01 (riduzione di Matteo Bello)

Score  Violin1  Violin2  Violin3  Viola  Cello

Sonata a tre in Re maggiore GT 4.D02 (riduzione di Simone Valente)
Sonata a tre in Do maggiore GT 4.C03 (riduzione di Cesare Pozzo)

Score  Violin1  Violin2  Violin3  Viola  Cello

This work of reduction and simplification also stimulated analysis and speculation by the composition students around the figure of Giuseppe Tartini and directed them to practices of musical arrangement and orchestration that were functional to their future work. The quality of the final product, the five simplified scores, is the most tangible measure of this activity.

The five scores, complete with all parts, are published with their editorial numbers and ISBNs by the Publishing House of the 'Giuseppe Tartini' Conservatory of Trieste and are freely available online in the Tartini Junior section of the website discovertartini.eu

Two workshops, organised in Koper by the Union of Italians and in Udine by the Bon Foundation as part of the activities of the TARTINI BIS project, already provided practical evidence of how this publishing production can be useful for the knowledge of Tartini’s work by the younger generations of musicians through further presentations of these compositions at other schools and cultural institutions in Italy and Slovenia.

A similar project was carried out by the Fondazione Bon, which entrusted Anna Molaro, teacher of theory and cello at the Foundation’s School of Music, with the task of simplifying nine works by Tartini in order to create a score with varying levels of difficulty. The adaptation allows the pieces to be performed by different ensembles, not only string ensembles: in this way, students of music schools—who play different instruments—can access this musical repertoire, as was the case with the youth orchestra of the Fondazione Luigi Bon.
