Giuseppe Martucci was one of the formative figures in the re-establishment of Italian instrumental
music in the second half of the 19th century. His orchestral music had advocates as powerful as
Mahler and Toscanini, and his piano concertos won admirers. His solo piano music was performed
mostly by him, and today remains virtually unknown. These compositions offer verdant, colourful
melodies, striking dance themes, and elegant music crafted for the salon. There are also some
flamboyant and virtuoso challenges, tracing a lineage back to Scarlatti.
