Gian Francesco Malipiero (1882 - 1973)

The Italian composer and musicologist Gian Francesco Malipiero is well known for his comprehensive editions of the music of Monteverdi and Vivaldi. Prolific as a composer, he also provided arrangements and transcriptions of works by earlier Italian composers.

Stage Works

Malipiero wrote a large number of operas and a smaller number of ballet scores. The former explored forms of particular originality while changing with his developing personal style of writing.

Orchestral and Vocal Music

Orchestral music by Malipiero includes a series of symphonies of varied and original content, many of them distinguished by explanatory or allusive titles. Concertos by Malipiero include six for the piano.
