Works of Gioachino Rossini. 4 Gallo, Denise Wind orchestra English, Italian Edition of selected works, Score, Anthology, Urtext edition Linen Pages / Format; LVI, 241 S. - 33,0 x 26,0 cm Through 1829 Rossini was an extraordinarily prolific composer of operas, comic, serious, and semiserious , in Italian and French, as well as of a great deal of vocal and instrumental music.He composed sacred music, vocal treatises, cantatas . Then, for many different reasons, he wrote very little music for more than twentyfive years, if we except some songs and the ‘ Stabat Mater’ . Only after he left Italy definitively for Paris in 1855 did he find his voice again.Between 1857 and 1868 a fresh group of masterpieces issued from his pen, the so-called ‘ Péchés de vieillesse ’ (Sins of Old Age), including chamber music, songs, and the ‘Petite Messe Solennelle’.Philip Gossett, General Editor of Works of Gioachino Rossini, is the Robert W.
