About the piece
Six character pieces showing Martucci's lyrical side, written for the concert platform and the drawing room alike.
He was also an important teacher, directing the conservatories of Bologna and then Naples, and his influence on the generation of Italian composers who followed was considerable even where his own music went unplayed.
The composer
Giuseppe Martucci
1856–1909
Giuseppe Martucci was an Italian composer, conductor, pianist and teacher. Sometimes called "the Italian Brahms", Martucci was notable among Italian composers of the era in that he dedicated his entire career to absolute music, and wrote no operas. As a composer and teacher he was influential in reviving Italian interest in non-operatic music. Nevertheless, as a conductor, he did help to introduce Wagner's operas to Italy and also gave important early concerts of British music there.
