Bruno Bartolozzi

Bruno Bartolozzi (8 June 1911 – 12 December 1980) was an Italian composer known for pioneering extended techniques in wind instrument performance. Born in Florence, he made significant contributions to various musical genres.

Bartolozzi's works include *Concerto for orchestra*, *Concerto for violin, string orchestra and harpsichord*, *Concerto No. 2 for violin and orchestra*, and *Memorie for three guitars and orchestra*. His vocal compositions feature *Sentimento del sogno* for soprano and orchestra, *Immagine* for soprano and 17 executors, and *Tres requerdos del cielo* for bass and various instruments. In chamber music, notable pieces are *Tre pezzi for guitar*, *Serenata for violin and guitar*, *Musica a cinque for violin, viola, trombone, bassoon, and guitar*, and others.

His *Concertazioni* series includes works like *Concertazioni for bassoon, strings and percussion*, *Concertazioni for oboe and other instruments*, and *Concertazioni a quattro*. Piano music features *Estri del Fa Diesis*. Stage works include *Tutto ciò che accade ti riguarda*.

Bartolozzi also authored method books such as *New sounds for Woodwinds* and collaborative methods with various musicians. His theoretical contributions are referenced in academic studies applying his techniques to performances by other composers.

Further reading highlights the application of Bartolozzi's theory in works like Smith Brindle's *Andromeda M31*, mediated through the Bartolozzi-Mencarelli method.
