About this item
Featuring five movements in diverse styles and forms by Italy's most important composer of the post-Romantic era, this set of early Respighi works is a refreshing departure from the magnificent symphonic poems (ex. Pines of Rome) for which he is best known. All accents, articulations and dynamics should be carefully observed, and the forte passages in the Galliard and Masquerade should by played in boisterous fashion.

Composer
Ottorino Respighi (1879-1936)
Ottorino Respighi (Italian pronunciation: [ottoˌɾiːno ɾesˈpiːɡi]; 9 July 1879 – 18 April 1936) was an Italian composer, musicologist and conductor. He is best known for his orchestral "Roman trilogy": Fountains of Rome (Fontane di Roma); Pines of Rome (Pini di Roma); and Roman Festivals (Feste Romane). His musicological interest in 16th-, 17th- and 18th-century music led him to also compose pieces based on the music of this period.
