For a full Bio on Alfredo Casella please visit This website. Below is just a brief Bio.

Casella was born in Turin in 1883 into a well known musical family, his father, Carlo, and his brothers, Cesare and Gioacchino, were all professional
cellists while his mother, Maria, was a pianist, Casella was surrounded by music that became his life and was introducted to music via his mother who
gave him his first musical lessons on the piano, and in around 1896 he moved to Paris with his mother to studied piano and composition at the Paris
conservatory. It was here that he first heard the music of Debussy and fell in love with french style of music.

Even though his love the french style of music, he composed in the late Romantic stlye of music such as Mahler, he completed his first Symphony in
1905, Casella moved to Monaco in 1908 to become an orchestra conductor. One of Casella biggest success was with the ballet La Giara, Casella also
made live-recording for player piano music rolls for the Aeolian Duo-Art system, which he did during the 1920's.

Archi, Opus.40b, (1923), Violin Concerto in A minor, Opus.48, (1928), and Cello Sonata No.2 in C major, Opus.45, (1926), plus many other's
