Talk:Antonio Bazzini

New International Encyclopedia claims that he wrote an opera (Turandot) which was produced in 1867, long before the opera of the same name by Puccini was performed for the first time. There is a mistake someplace. GhostofSuperslum 20:40, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

contrasting info ...
This is from the Classical Archives website, citing the AllMusicGuide:

"During his lifetime, Italian virtuoso violinist Antonio Bazzini was as widely admired a composer as he was a performer; late in life especially, his serious-minded chamber music and orchestral music earned him pan-European recognition. He ultimately held a position of prominence at the Milan Conservatory, where he taught composition to the likes of Pietro Mascagni and Giacomo Puccini. Today, however, he is remembered almost exclusively for a single virtuoso showpiece for violin and piano, composed well before either of those two worthy pupils was even born—La ronde des lutins, Op. 25 (1852).

La ronde des lutins (usually translated as "Dance of the Goblins" or "Round of the Goblins") is described by Bazzini as a scherzo fantastique for violin and piano. And fantastic it is: the miscreant goblins force the violinist to stretch his or her fingerpower to the limit (especially considering the 1852 year of origin)...."

A couple of items - first, according to this writer, his orchestral music in his later career was prominent, also. Secondly, the legacy of remembered chiefly for La ronde des lutins - while if one looks around YouTube this seems to be the main piece of his that anyone cares about on there, is it actually his legacy achievement in today's music circles? I wouldn't want to challenge the Grove with the AMG, just wondering about other's thoughts on adjusting the article. HammerFilmFan (talk) 20:59, 9 April 2011 (UTC) HammerFilmFan

I suggest to include the file at right. It is a bit scratchy due to age, and therefore might eventually be filtered using GoldWave.Anythingyouwant (talk) 19:51, 16 October 2015 (UTC)
