Nikolaos Mantzaros
Nikolaos Chalikiopoulos Mantzaros (, ; , 26 October 1795 – 12 April 1872) was a Greek-Italian composer born in Corfu, major representative and founder of the so-called Ionian School of music (Επτανησιακή Σχολή). Biography Mantzaros was of noble Greco-Italian descent, coming from one of the most important and wealthy Venetian families of the "Libro d'Oro" di Corfu and therefore he never considered himself a "professional composer", teaching the youth of Corfu without profit. His father was Iakovos Chalikiopoulos Mantzaros and his mother Regina Turini, from Dalmatia. Recent research and performances have led to a re-evaluation of Mantzaros as a significant composer and music theorist. Debut in Corfu He was taught music in his native city by the brothers Stefano (pianoforte) and Gerolamo Pojago (violin), Stefano Moretti from Ancona (music theory) and ''cavalliere'' Barbati, possibly a Neapolitan (music theory and composition). Mantzaros presented his first compos ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
