 | Lenny Cavallaro (1947 - ) États-UnisAn accomplished pianist, Cavallaro was a top prizewinner in the J.S. Bach International Competition and subsequently performed that composer’s *Six Partitas* to the highest critical acclaim in Carnegie Recital Hall. He has achieved even more recognition as a composer, with eleven published volumes, most notably his works for English horn and piano (released by Forton Music) and violin and piano (Broadbent & Dunn). In 2015, he wrote a conjectural "completion" of Contrapunctus XIV from Bach's unfinished masterpiece, The Art of the Fugue.
Cavallaro majored in literature at the University of Connecticut and later earned his Doctor of Musical Arts (D.M.A.) degree from West Virginia University. He has served on the English and/or music faculties of several colleges in New England.
Cavallaro is also the author of numerous novels, novellas, and short dramas. He has written two "novelettes" involving music: *Cursed Love* (which deals with Beethoven and the Countess Josephine von Brunsvik) and *Bach's Last Composition: A Fantasy*. Both are free downloads, available through various online retailers and his website (see below). In addition, he edited, revised, and wrote numerous scenes for *Paganini Agitato*, by Ann Abelson (Fomite Press, 2023). (Hide extended text) ... (Read all) |
