Ten intermediate-level pieces by modern Italian composers. Includes works by Busoni, Casella, Castelnuovo-Tedesco, Petrassi, Respighi, Rota, and others. With a detailed introduction and notes on each piece. These 10 piano pieces written between 1915 and 1941 will appeal to performers, students, and audiences...The musical language is freely tonal with excursions into modality, and primarily diatonic and linear in conception. Strong melodies contribute to the beauty of these works. Most are character pieces--slow, expressive and short...'Epitaffio' by Malipeiro is hauntingly beautiful.--American Music Teacher Contents: PETRASSI: Piccola Invenzione · DAVICO: Tre Pastorali d'Autunno · PICK-MANGIAGALLI: Colloque au Clair de Lune · MALIPIERO: Epitaffio · RESPIGHI: Preludio III · ROTA: Ippolito Gioca · PILATI: Fughetta a Tre Voci · BUSONI: Sonatina in Diem Nativitatis Christi (MCMXVII) · TEDESCO: Charlie · CASELLA: Due Ricercari sul Nome «B-A-C-H»
