Italian violinist and composer Bruno Bartolozzi was born on June 8, 1911 in Florence. He studied violin at the Cherubini Conservatory in Florence at the late age of 25, securing a position as violinist with the Maggio Musicale Fiorentino by 1941. He returned to the conservatory in 1946 to study composition with Dallapiccola, only later to be appointed to the faculty in 1964. Bruno's music avoids both the aphoristic, short-breathed Viennese style and the conventionalized dodecaphony of the Italian reactionary school. His expanded palette of orchestral textures and clear sense of melody, form and rhythmic vitality are articulated on the page, allowing the performer and composer to function on a same wavelength. Bruno Bartolozzi passed away on December 12, 1980 at his home in Fiesole, Italy. He is remembered also for his work 1967 work “New Sounds for Woodwinds” which explores the possibilities of producing several pitches simultaneously on a single woodwind instrument.
