Composition History

The orchestral work Per una favola cavalleresca was salvaged from Malipiero's opera Lancelotto del lago, which he claimed to have destroyed due to disgust with the librettist.

Composer's Artistic Vision

Malipiero's First Violin Concerto avoids the 19th-century model of a virtuoso soloist, with the orchestra following the soloist like a crowd listening, and rhetoric and virtuosity avoided.

Composer Biography

Gian Francesco Malipiero, the composer, traveled extensively across German-speaking Europe during his formative teenage years after his parents' marriage collapsed.
