Giovanni Anfossi e Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Giovanni Anfossi, a direct descendant of Pasquale Anfossi, studied music in his native Ancona and later at the Conservatory in Naples under the guidance of Giuseppe Martucci. From 1888 onwards, he devoted himself to teaching in Verona and Milan, establishing close ties with the upper middle classes and founding his own private school. His pupils included Luisa Baccara, Rina Gallo, Agostino Orizio and Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">How much did Benedetti Michelangeli owe to his teacher Giovanni Anfossi?<br>How did Benedetti Michelangeli become the&nbsp;<em>Maestro<\/em>&nbsp;par excellence?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These are crucial and far-reaching questions. Answers emerge from the study of Anfossi\u2019s previously unpublished private archive, from the accounts of Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli\u2019s pupils, and from previously unknown photographic portraits that shed new light on the adolescent and young man at the very moment when his star began to rise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Contents<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Foreword<\/em><br>A Man and His Archive<br>The Life<br>The Anfossi School and Its Pupils<br>The Composer<br>The Music Critic<br>The Teacher<br>Giovanni Anfossi and Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli<br>The Photographs<br>Concerts by Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli<br>Giovanni Anfossi\u2019s Pupils<br><em>Acknowledgements<\/em><br><em>Bibliography<\/em><br><em>Index of Names<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":61137,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"tags":[],"event_type":[270,268,808],"event_type_2":[765],"class_list":["post-61135","ajde_events","type-ajde_events","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","event_location-sala-amati-en","event_type-music-culture-en","event_type-piano-en","event_type-presentation","event_type_2-friday-2"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cremonamusica.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ajde_events\/61135","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cremonamusica.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ajde_events"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cremonamusica.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/ajde_events"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cremonamusica.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cremonamusica.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=61135"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/cremonamusica.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ajde_events\/61135\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":61596,"href":"https:\/\/cremonamusica.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ajde_events\/61135\/revisions\/61596"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cremonamusica.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/61137"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cremonamusica.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=61135"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cremonamusica.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=61135"},{"taxonomy":"event_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cremonamusica.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event_type?post=61135"},{"taxonomy":"event_type_2","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cremonamusica.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event_type_2?post=61135"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
