UNA LAGRIMA sulla tomba dell' immortale Rossini

Ernesto Cavallini was a leading clarinettist of the nineteenth century whose reputation spread from Brazil to St.Petersburg. A contemporary critic '...describes his volubility and technique as prodigious and his breath as inexhaustible; his intonation was also very good, though his instrument was only the old six-keyed clarinet.' Cavallini taught at the Milan Conservatory and played in the orchestra of the Teatro alla Scala before taking up the post of clarinettist to Tsar Alexander II in St. Petersburg where, in 1862, he was also appointed the first clarinet professor at the newly opened conservatoire. It is said that his playing inspired Verdi to write the third act clarinet solo in 'La Forza del Destino' which Cavallini played to great acclaim at the premiere of the opera at the Imperial Opera on 10th November 1862. Besides two early unpublished concertos, Cavillini wrote a number of accompanied concert pieces for clarinet solo and duet including fantasias on the operas of Bellini, Donizetti and Verdi. 'Una Lagrima Sulla Tomba Dell'Immortale Rossini' was written in Milan in the early 1870's after Cavallini's return from Russia. It is an 'hommage' to a composer he revered who had died in 1868.
