Mascagni - Serenata (piano version by Ilio Barontini) [Digital Sheet Music]

By moving forward into the huge repertoire of Mascagni's orchestral works, choral music, chamber works and piano pieces, we discover a style that participates in the literary and artistic trends of the late 19th Century, like Symbolism and Aestheticism.

This solo piano version by Ilio Barontini of Mascagni's Serenata highlights the musical richness of this piece, originally composed for tenor and piano, which requires the player to make refined work on dynamics and agogics. Many famous singers have interpreted this piece, from Alfredo Kraus to Luciano Pavarotti, from Carlo Bergonzi to Luciano Virgili.
