Guglielmo Baldini

Guglielmo Baldini is the name of a non-existent composer who was the subject of a hoax entry in the 1980 '. Unlike the other fictitious individual revealed to have been inserted into that work (Dag Henrik Esrum-Hellerup, a non-existent Swedish composer), Baldini was not a modern creation: his name and biography were in fact created almost a century earlier by the renowned German musicologist Hugo Riemann. The 'New Grove' entry on Baldini was supported by a fictional reference in the form of an article supposedly in the 'Archiv fur Freiburger Diozesan geschichte'. Though successfully introduced into the encyclopaedia, Baldini appeared in the first printing only: soon exposed as a hoax, the entry was removed. |
