Career

Martucci learned the basics of music from his father, Gaetano, who played the trumpet. He was a child prodigy, performing on the piano at the age of 8[1]. From the age of 11, he was a student at the Naples conservatory, on the recommendation of professor Beniamino Cesi[2], the latter being a former student of Sigismond Thalberg. Beniamino Cesi ( 6 November 1845 &ndash 19 January 1907) was a celebrated Italian concert pianist and teaching professor of piano Sigismond Thalberg ( January 8, 1812 &ndash April 27 1871) was a Composer and one of the most distinguished Virtuoso Martucci became a student in composition with Paolo Serrao. Paolo Serrao (b Filadelfia ( Catanzaro) 1830 d Naples, 17 March 1907) was a distinguished and influential Italian Martucci subsequently (from 1880 onwards) held a professorship and became director in 1902. Among his students was Ottorino Respighi. For the astronomer see Lorenzo Respighi (1824—1889 For the crater named after Lorenzo Respighi see Respighi (crater.

His son Paolo, born in Naples in 1883, also became a pianist of note, briefly teaching at the Cincinnati Conservatory. [1][2]

Pianist

Martucci's career as an international pianist commenced with a tour through Germany, France and England in 1875, at the age of 19[3]. He was appointed pianoforte professor at the Naples Conservatory in 1880[2], and moved to Bologna in 1886, replacing Luigi Mancinelli there; in 1902 he returned for the last time to Naples, as director of the Royal Conservatory of Music. [3][1]

Conductor

His career as conductor started in 1881. As a conductor he helped introduce Richard Wagner's operas to Italy, conducting the first Italian performance of Tristan und Isolde in 1888[4] in 1888 in Bologna. Tristan und Isolde ( Tristan and Isolde, or Tristan and Isolda) is an Opera, or Music drama, in three acts by Richard Wagner As well as performing Charles Villiers Stanford's 3rd ("Irish") Symphony in Bologna in 1898[5], he also conducted perhaps the only concert of all-British orchestral music on the European continent in the whole period 1851–1900[2], and included music by Brahms, Lalo, Goldmark and others in his programs. Sir Charles Villiers Stanford (30 September 1852 &ndash 29 March 1924 was an Irish composer resident in England for much of his life Johannes Brahms ( pronounced ˈbʁaːms (May 7 1833 &ndash April 3 1897 was a German Composer Édouard-Victoire-Antoine Lalo ( 27 January 1823 &ndash 22 April 1892) was a French Composer of Spanish descent Karl Goldmark, also known originally as Károly Goldmark and later sometimes as Carl Goldmark ( Keszthely, Hungary, May 18, 1830 &ndash

Composer

Martucci began as a composer at the age of 16, with short piano works. He wrote no operas, making him rare among Italian composers of his generation, but instead concentrated on instrumental music and songs, producing also an oratorio, Samuel. Opera is an art form in which Singers and Musicians perform a Dramatic work (called an opera which combines a text (called a Libretto An oratorio is a large Musical composition including an Orchestra, a Choir, and soloists The oratorio was somewhat modeled after the Opera [6]

His music is influenced primarily but not entirely by that of Brahms and Schumann, and was championed by Arturo Toscanini during much of the latter's career. Robert Schumann, sometimes given as Robert Alexander Schumann (June 8 1810 &ndash July 29 1856 was a German Composer, Aesthete and influential Music critic WikipediaWikiProject Classical music#Biographical_infoboxes --> Arturo Toscanini (ɑrˈturɔ ˌtɔskɑˈnini (March 25 1867 &ndash January G.F.
