Terziani, Eugenio. (1824 - 1889). "Alla Tomba di Bellini," Autograph Manuscript. An interesting manuscript from the important Italian composer and conductor. Four pages of music, an elegy for voice and piano, signed and dated Rome, May 10th 1886. The composer's son, Rafaele, has also written and signed a 1921 note on the first page stating that the manuscript is in his father's hand. Finely bound in three-quarter green leather in green marble boards, bearing a stamped title-plate on the front panel.

A student of Mercadante, Terziani fought in the Garibaldi brigade and was the longtime conductor of the Teatro Apollo in Rome (1847 - 1868), also conducting at La Scala from 1867 - 1871. Verdi entrusted him with the revised "La Forza del destino" in 1869 and "he was considered by many one of the most illustrious and learned of Roman musicians." As a composer, his "musical style is more interesting than that of most Italian operas of the day," and he wrote three operas, two ballets, and a variety of sacred and occasional pieces. His son, Raffaele (1860 - 1928) was also a prominent conductor, singing teacher and composer. (Marvin Tartak, Grove Online)
