Casella, Alfredo. (1883-1947) [Trio Italiano]. Autograph Signatures of the full "Trio Italiano.". An uncommon autograph from the important Italian composer, conductor, pianist, writer on music, "the most influentially innovative figure in Italian music between the two world wars." (Grove) Casella was also one of the best-known Italian piano virtuosos of his generation, and together with Arturo Bonucci (cello) and Alberto Poltronieri (violin), in 1930 he formed the Trio Italiano, which played to great acclaim in Europe and America. His stature as a pianist and his work with the Trio gave rise to some of his best known compositions, including A Notte Alta, the Sonatina, Nove Pezzi, and the Six Studies, Op. 70, for piano. For the Trio to play on tour, he wrote the Sonata a Tre and the Triple Concerto.

A nice set of bold pencil signatures from all three members of the Trio. On an album page, 11.5 x 18.5 cm.
