Biography
Pizzetti was born inParmain 1880. He was part of the "Generation of 1880" along withOttorino Respighi,Gian Francesco Malipiero, and Alfredo Casella . They were among the first Italian composers in some time whose primary contributions were not in opera. (The instrumental anda cappellatraditions had never died in Italian music and had produced, for instance, the string quartets ofAntonio Scontrino(1850-1922) and the works of Respighi's teacherGiuseppe Martucci; but with the "Generation of 1880" these traditions became stronger.)
Ildebrando Pizzetti was the son of Odoardo Pizzetti, a pianist and piano teacher who was his son's first teacher. At first Pizzetti seemed headed for a career as a playwright—he had written several plays, two of which had been produced—before he decided in 1895 on a career in music and entered the Conservatorium of Parma.
There he was taught from 1897 byGiovanni Tebaldiniand gained the beginnings of his lifelong interest in the early music of Italy, reflected in his own music and his writings.
He taught at the Conservatory inFlorence(director from 1917 to 1923), directed theMilanConservatory from 1923, and was Respighi's successor at the Academy of St. Cecilia in Rome from 1936 to 1958[1]) His students includedMario Castelnuovo-Tedesco,Olga Rudge,Manoah Leide-TedescoandFranco Donatoni. See:List of music students by teacher: N to Q#Ildebrando Pizzetti. Also a music critic, he wrote several books on the music of Italy and of Greece and co-founded a musical journal. Pizzetti was an active supporter offascismand signed theManifesto of the Fascist Intellectualsin 1925.
A disciple of poet, playwright and revolutionaryGabriele d'Annunzio, Pizzetti wroteincidental musicto his plays, and was highly influenced by d'Annunzio's dark neoclassic themes. One of Pizzetti's later operas is a setting of d'Annunzio'sLa Figlia Di Jorio.
He was named to theRoyal Academy of Italyin 1939. As noted by Sciannameo, his relations with the Fascist government of the 1940s were often positive, sometimes mixed; he received at one point high awards, and the one symphony of his mature years was the product of a commission from their Japanese allies to celebrate the "XXVI Centennial of the foundation of the Japanese Empire" (Benjamin Britten'sSinfonia da Requiemwas also commissioned for this event, though it was rejected on account of its finale; its original finale was rediscovered after Britten's death and only premiered then.) Pizzetti's Symphony in A was premiered as noted in the article, and recorded in 1940, and again by Naxos with his Harp Concerto (Naxos 8573613, 2017)
His Violin Concerto in A was premiered in 1944 byGioconda de Vito; this seems to be the only 20th century violin concerto she ever played.
