Antonio Salieri

À propos de ce compositeur

“Antonio Salieri (18 August 1750 – 7 May 1825) was an Italian composer and teacher of the classical period. Salieri was a pivotal figure in the development of late 18th-century opera. A student of Florian Leopold Gassmann and a protégé of Christoph Willibald Gluck, Salieri was a cosmopolitan composer who wrote operas in three languages. He helped to shape operatic compositional vocabulary, and his music was a powerful influence on contemporary composers. Salieri was born in Legnago, south of Verona, in the Republic of Venice, and spent his adult life and career as a subject of the Habsburg monarchy.”
