Full biography Gian Francesco Malipiero
Gian Francesco Malipiero was an Italian composer who lived from 1882 to 1973. He was one of the leading Italian composers of the 20th century and was known for his fusion of modern techniques with the stylistic qualities of early Italian music. Malipiero wrote a large number of stage works , songs, and other compositions throughout his career, and also provided arrangements and transcriptions of works by earlier Italian composers.
Malipiero was born in Venice into a family of musicians and studied composition with Francesco Busoni and Cesare Pollini. He later worked as a music teacher and musicologist, and wrote extensively about early Italian music. During his career, he received numerous awards and honors, including the prestigious Légion d'honneur from France.
Malipiero's music is characterized by its use of traditional forms and tonal harmonies, combined with more modern techniques such as dissonance and irregular meter. Some of his notable works include the opera "La finta giardiniera" and the orchestral suite "Rispetti e Strambotti."
Malipiero was also a prolific letter writer and his correspondence with other musicians and scholars is an important source of information about his life and work. He died in 1973 at the age of 91.
