1. Life Of Gioacchino Antonio Rossini Gioacchino Antonio Rossini was born at Pesaro on February 29, 1792, the son of a hornplayer. The leap-year advent took his humorous fancy. http://www.musicwithease.com/rossini-life.html

Music with Ease The Life of Gioacchino Antonio Rossini Of necessity the change in musical taste has pushed the old Italian masters of opera into the background. But they are by no means totally neglected. Wagner has not captured all the opera-goers! There are still a vast number who recognise charm of melody and clearness of musical form, and prefer an opera in which voices and orchestra are used with discrimination and taste, neither striving for mastery over the other. In spite of great advances, many still take the view that Haydn took when he wrote: "Let your air be good, and your composition, whatever it be, will be so likewise, and will assuredly delight. It is the soul of music, the life, the spirit, the essence of a composition. Without it theorists may succeed in discovering and using the most singular chords and combinations, but nothing is heard after all but a laboured sound, which, though it may not vex the ear, leaves the head empty and the heart cold and unaffected by it." To those who agree with Haydn the Rossini school is always welcome. Its chief exponents, besides Rossini himself, were Donizetti and Bellini, and the surviving operas of the three may now be considered.

He bore three months after the death of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, the Swan of Pesaro - as he was called - impressed to melodramma a style destined to mark a new eopch and of which anyone after him, would have had to take into account; he set to music tens of operas without genre limit, from farces to comedies, to tragedies, to half-serious and serious ones. His family was of modest origins: his father - called Vivazza, ardent supporter of the French Revolution - came from Lugo and was a professional player in the city band and in the local orchestra that supported the French occupation troops; his mother, Anna Guidarini, was born in Urbino and was a singer of quite good capability. Therefore young Gioacchino spent his youth between his grandmother's and during his trips between Ravenna, Ferrara and Bologna where his father took refuge in the attempt to escape the capture after the restoration of the papal government. It's exactly in Bologna where he starts studying music and in particular the study of singing (he was contralto and singer at the Philarmonic Academy) and of spinetta with Giuseppe Prinetti, his first master.

ROSSINI Gioacchino Antonio (Pesaro 1792 – Passy de Paris 1868). Compositore. Gioacchino Rossini nacque a Pesaro, nello Stato Pontificio, il 29 Febbraio del 1792 da Giuseppe Antonio Rossigni, musicista, e Anna Guidarini, modista, ma con buone doti canore. Il giovane Rossini iniziò sin da bambino a dedicarsi alla musica ricevendo lezioni di canto, spinetta e corno (dal padre), prediligendo le composizioni di Mozart e Haydin tanto da essere soprannominato "Tedeschino". Iniziò anche a comporre alcune musiche sacre e già a 13 anni ottenne il primo premio al liceo con la cantata Pianto d'Armonia per la morte di Orfeo Nel 1806 la compagnia di Bologna Mombelli commissionò al quattordicenne Rossini l'opera Demetrio e Polibio che non venne però mai rappresentata fino al 1812. Il suo esordio lo ebbe a Venezia, a soli 18 anni, quando venne rappresentata al Teatro S. Moisè La cambiale di Matrimonio , che ebbe un discreto successo. Nei due anni successivi l'attività compositiva di Rossini fu intensissima e scrisse ben sette opere con risultati alterni, sino a debuttare il 26 Settembre del 1812 alla Scala di Milano con La Pietra del Paragone che meritò ben 53 repliche.

When the father was imprisoned for having backed the wrong side during the Napoleonic invasion, his mother took the young Rossini to Bologna where she earned a living as an opera singer. Rossini made an early reputation as an opera composer with his strong sense of melody and comedy, as seen in The Barber of Seville. His thirty-sixth opera, William Tell, was his last at the age of 37, for reasons which have never been clear, he stopped composing, writing only his Stabat Mater and a setting of the Mass in later life. He was something of a gourmet and invented the steak dish Tournedos Rossini.

Inicio Buscador Las figuras clave de la historia Reportajes Los protagonistas de la actualidad Gioacchino Antonio Rossini (Pésaro, actual Italia, 1792-París, 1868) Compositor italiano. Situado cronológicamente entre los últimos grandes representantes de la ópera napolitana (Cimarosa y Paisiello) y los primeros de la romántica (Bellini y Donizetti), Rossini ocupa un lugar preponderante en el repertorio lírico italiano gracias a óperas bufas como Il barbiere di Siviglia La Cenerentola o L'italiana in Algeri , que le han dado fama universal, eclipsando otros títulos no menos valiosos. Hijo de un trompetista del municipio de Pésaro que colaboraba con las orquestas de los teatros de la provincia, y de una soprano que llevó a cabo una corta carrera como seconda donna, la existencia de Rossini se vio ligada, desde la infancia, al universo operístico. Alumno del Liceo Musical de Bolonia desde 1806, en esta institución tuvo como maestro de contrapunto al padre Mattei y entró en contacto con la producción sinfónica de los clásicos vieneses, Mozart y Haydn, que ejercerían una notable influencia en la fisonomía instrumental de sus grandes óperas, de una riqueza tímbrica y de recursos (los célebres y característicos crescendi rossinianos) desconocidos en la Italia de su tiempo.
