Amilcare Ponchielli ©
Amilcare Ponchielli is known today primarily as the composer of La Giocanoda. Ponchielli, together with Verdi, is considered one of Italian opera’s most representative musicians during the second half of the nineteenth century. He was also one of its most influential teachers, with a list of sydents that included Mascagni and Puccini.
In addition to his famous theatrical operas, Ponchielli also composed many instrumental works. These included a few symphonies, chamber music for various solo instruments and piano, and balltes that were praised by the renowned Toscanini for their vivacity and brilliance. And even thought they are generally ignored, his numerous works for band constitute an original body of work and should not be forgotten.
