-
▪ Italian composer
born April 3, 1895, Florence, Italy
died March 15, 1968, Hollywood, Calif., U.S.
Italian-born composer in the Neoromantic style.
Castelnuovo-
Tedesco studied under Ildebrando Pizzetti and became widely known during the 1920s.
In 1939 Benito Mussolini'
s anti-
Semitic policies led him to emigrate to the United States,
where he settled in Hollywood.
He appeared as soloist in his Piano Concerto No. 2 and also wrote three violin concerti,
a cello concerto,
and a concerto for guitar.
His orchestral works include overtures to 12 plays by William Shakespeare (
Shakespeare, William),
many of whose sonnets and poems he set to music.
He composed two Shakespearean operas,
The Merchant of Venice (
1961)
and All's Well That Ends Well (
1957).
His chamber music is scored for a variety of combinations;
his piano pieces are conceived as miniature symphonic poems;
his songs retain the melodiousness of the Italian school;
and his harmonies are opulent and often complex.
