Gioachino Rossini
'''Gioachino and he is so referred to in at least one later document from his early years. In the ''Cambridge Companion to Rossini'', the editor, Emanuele Senici, writes that Rossini spelt the name variously as ''Gioachino'' or ''Gioacchino'' in his early years, before finally settling on the former in the 1830s. The latter spelling is now more usual among bearers of the forename, but Rossini experts generally regard ''Gioachino'' as the appropriate form so far as the composer is concerned. Among the authorities favouring that spelling are the Fondazione G. Rossini in Pisa, the ''Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians'', and the Centro Italo-Americano per l'Opera (CIAO). |group= n}} Antonio Rossini''', ; .|group=n}} (29 February 1792 – 13 November 1868) was an Italian composer who gained fame for his 39 operas, although he also wrote many songs, some chamber music and piano pieces and some sacred music. He set new standards for both comic and serious opera before retiring from large-scale composition while still in his thirties, at the height of his popularity.Born in Pesaro to parents who were both musicians (his father a trumpeter, his mother a singer), Rossini began to compose by the age of twelve and was educated at music school in Bologna. His first opera was performed in Venice in 1810 when he was 18 years old. In 1815 he was engaged to write operas and manage theatres in Naples. In the period 1810–1823, he wrote 34 operas for the Italian stage that were performed in Venice, Milan, Ferrara, Naples and elsewhere; this productivity necessitated an almost formulaic approach for some components (such as overtures) and a certain amount of self-borrowing. During this period he produced his most popular works, including the comic operas ''L'italiana in Algeri'', ''Il barbiere di Siviglia'' (known in English as ''The Barber of Seville'') and ''La Cenerentola'', which brought to a peak the ''opera buffa'' tradition he inherited from masters such as Domenico Cimarosa and Giovanni Paisiello. He also composed ''opera seria'' works such as ''Tancredi'', ''Otello'' and ''Semiramide''. All of these attracted admiration for their innovation in melody, harmonic and instrumental colour, and dramatic form. In 1824 he was contracted by the Opéra in Paris, for which he produced an opera to celebrate the coronation of Charles X, ''Il viaggio a Reims'' (later cannibalised for his first opera in French, ''Le comte Ory''), revisions of two of his Italian operas, ''Le siège de Corinthe'' and ''Moïse'', and in 1829 his last opera, ''Guillaume Tell''.
Rossini's withdrawal from opera for the last 40 years of his life has never been fully explained; contributory factors may have been ill-health, the wealth his success had brought him, and the rise of spectacular grand opera under composers such as Giacomo Meyerbeer. From the early 1830s to 1855, when he left Paris and was based in Bologna, Rossini wrote relatively little. On his return to Paris in 1855 he became renowned for his musical salons on Saturdays, regularly attended by musicians and the artistic and fashionable circles of Paris, for which he wrote the entertaining pieces ''Péchés de vieillesse''. Guests included Franz Liszt, Anton Rubinstein, Giuseppe Verdi, Meyerbeer, and Joseph Joachim. Rossini's last major composition was his ''Petite messe solennelle'' (1863). Provided by Wikipedia
