About

Amilcare Ponchielli (1834 - 1886) was an Italian composer and musician known for his significant contributions to the world of opera. While he is most recognized for his opera "La Gioconda”, Ponchielli also made remarkable accomplishments in the realm of piano music.

Born in Cremona, Italy, Ponchielli began his musical journey as a pianist and organist. His skills as a pianist were evident in his compositions, which were infused with virtuosic piano passages and expressive melodies. Ponchielli's piano wor ks showcased his technical prowess and his ability to evoke a wide range of emotions through music.

One of his no ta ble piano compositions is "Dance of the Hours," which was originally written as a ballet music piece for his opera "La Gioconda." This live ly and enchanting piece has become one of Ponchielli's most recognized works, often performed as a standalone piano p iece. Its sparkling melodies, intricate rhythms, and dynamic contrasts demonstrate Ponchielli's mastery of the piano as an instrument of mu sical expression.

In addition to "Dance of the Hours," Ponchielli composed other piano pieces such as nocturnes, ch ar acter pieces, and études. His compositions often reflected the romantic style of the 19th century, characterized by rich harmonies, lyric al melodies, and dramatic contrasts.

Played by Ester Fusar Poli, a highly talented young Italian pianist, who took le ss ons among others with Roberto Prosseda.
