Ottorino
Respighi was an Italian composer, musicologist and conductor. He is best known
for his orchestral music, particularly the three Roman tone poems: Fountains of
Rome (Le fontane di Roma); Pines of Rome (I pini di Roma); and Roman Festivals
(Festeromane). His musicological interest in 16th-, 17th- and 18th-century
music led him to also compose pieces based on the music of this period. He also
wrote a number of operas, the best known being Lafiamma.
His
notable works:
- String Quartet in D major in one movement (undated)
- String Quartet No. 1 in D major (1892–98)
- String Quartet No. 2 in B flat major (1898)
- String Quartet in D major (1907)
- String Quartet in D minor (1909)
