Additional info/contents	Leonardo Dreams was commissioned by the Spanish orchestra Santa Cecilia from Cullera. In this piece, one witnesses the genius of Leonardo da Vinci, who invented numerous things, from the bicycle to the flying machine. The whole work is based on two core motifs that appear again and again in new changes. The different sections of the play each relate to a different aspect of Leonardo. 1. Introduction 2. Florencia 3. Leonardo’s Notebooks 4. The Vitruvian Man 5. Flying Machines 6. The Virgin on the Rocks 7. War Machines 8. Leonardo’s Bicycle 9. The Death of Leonardo 10. The Genius

Programme notes *: The inventions of Leonardo da Vinci Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519) was an Italian polymath whose interests and skills spanned the fields of art, science, music, mathematics, engineering, anatomy, geology, astronomy, botany, writing, history, and cartography. Although he is now primarily known for his paintings such as "Mona Lisa" and "The Last Supper," Leonardo was also a notable inventor. His sketchbooks contain designs and ideas for numerous machines and devices, many of them well ahead of their time. - Flying machines: Leonardo da Vinci's fascination with flight led to several groundbreaking designs that can be considered precursors to modern aviation. - Ornithopter: A device designed to be powered by flapping wings, similar to the flight of birds. Leonardo's designs show a detailed analysis of the mechanics of flight, although a working model was never built. - Parachute: Leonardo designed a pyramid-shaped parachute made of canvas fabric that would allow a human to land safely from great heights. Modern tests based on his designs have shown that the concept can actually work. - Helicopter (airscrew): Leonardo sketched a spiral-shaped device that would be propelled by human muscle power. Although it was never built, it shows his remarkable imagination and understanding of aerodynamic principles. Military Inventions Leonardo also worked on numerous military inventions, often commissioned by the rulers and military leaders of his time. - Tank: He designed an armored car that would be operated by several men inside. The design resembles a modern tank and shows Leonardo's visionary skills in warfare technology. - Giant Crossbow: A gigantic, wooden bow that would fire large arrows. This device was intended to have great destructive power, but was never tested in practice. - Revolving Barrel Gun: Leonardo also designed a multi-barreled gun that could fire shots in rapid succession. This concept is similar to the modern machine gun. Hydraulics and water technology Leonardo had a deep understanding of the mechanics of water and developed several innovative concepts in this area. - Canal locks: Leonardo improved the design of canal locks to control water flow and facilitate transportation. These ideas were applied in many European canal systems. - Diving equipment: He designed a primitive diving equipment that included a leather suit and a breathing tube connected to a floating bell on the surface. - Hydraulic machines: Leonardo's sketches include numerous designs for water pumps, water wheels, and other hydraulic devices that could be used for mining and irrigation. Mechanical inventions Leonardo's understanding of mechanics led to numerous innovative machines and tools. - Automaton: He designed a mechanical knight figure that could move. This figure, often referred to as "Leonardo's robot," is considered one of the first humanoid robots in history. - Gears and transmissions: Many of his sketches show sophisticated systems of gears and shafts that could be used to transmit power and control motion. These mechanisms are the basis of modern mechanical engineering principles. - Lathe: Leonardo improved the design of the lathe, a tool used to work wood and metal. His design was more efficient and versatile than previous models. Medical studies and inventions Leonardo's interest in anatomy and medicine led to some notable discoveries and designs. - Anatomical studies: His detailed drawings of human and animal anatomy are remarkably accurate and were highly valued by the medical community. He was one of the first to correctly depict the exact structure of the human heart and the workings of the circulatory system. - Prosthetics: Leonardo also designed prosthetics and orthopedic devices intended for the medical care of injured soldiers. Leonardo da Vinci was a visionary inventor whose designs and ideas were far ahead of their time. Although many of his machines and devices were never built, his sketches and notes have inspired generations of engineers, scientists and artists. Leonardo's inventions demonstrate not only his remarkable creativity and imagination, but also his deep understanding of mechanics, anatomy and natural phenomena. His legacy as an inventor is as significant as his contribution to art, and he remains one of the most outstanding figures of the Renaissance and human history.
