Nino Rota is known primarily for his film scores such as Godfather, La dolce vita, Il Gattopardo, etc.


As well as instrumental concertos, Rota also wrote Concerto per orchestra (also under the titles of Concerto in Fa and Concerto Festivo).
Rota's own arrangement for piano duet, simply entitled Concerto, formed the basis of this edition, edited by Duo Pianistico di Firenze (Sara Bartolucci and Rodolfo Alessandrini) which is both practical and true to the original manuscript.
