Giovanni Sgambati was in the 19th century a persistent pioneer in the renewal of Roman instrumental music, when Italy was still dominated by musical theater. Between Pièces lyriques, Nocturnes and Mélodies poétiques, the miniature becomes a workshop of proportions, of European memory and of poetry at the keyboard. The legacy of Liszt and Schumann, Italian cantabile and a strictly regulated formal discipline exist side by side in the same language. A portrait of rare refinement emerges, in which the 19th-century salon opens itself to a cultivated, cosmopolitan and deeply Roman vision of instrumental modernity.
