SGAMBATI, GIOVANNI (1843 )

This article appears in Volume V24, Page 757 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SCY-SHA
SGAMBATI, GIOVANNI (1843 ) , Italian composer, was born in Rome on the 28th of May 1843, of an Italian father and an
English
 
mother
 . His early education took place at Trevi, in Umbria, and there he wrote some
church
  music, and obtained experience as a
singer
  and conductor. In 186o he settled in Rome, and definitely took up the
work
  of winning acceptance for the best German music, which was at that time neglected in Italy. The
influence
  and support of Liszt, who was in Rome from 1861, was naturally of the greatest advantage to him, and concerts were given in which Sgambati conducted as well as played the piano. His composition, of this period (18641865) included a quartet, two piano quintets, an octet, and an overture. He conducted Liszt's Dante symphony in 1866, and made the acquaintance of
Wagner
 's music for the first time at
Munich
 , whither he travelled in Liszt's company. His first album of songs appeared in 187o, and his first symphony was played at the Quirinal in 1881; this, as well as a piano concerto, was performed in the course of his first visit to England in 1882; and at his second visit, in 1891, his Sinfonia epitalamio was given at the Philharmonic. His most extensive
work
 , a Requiem
Mass
 , was performed in Rome 1901. His many piano-forte works have won permanent success; but his
influence
  on Italian musical
taste
  has been perhaps greater than the merits of his compositions, which, though often poetical and generally effective, are often slight in style.
