Life

Bruno Bettinelli studied at the Conservatory in Milan in Giulio Cesare Paribeni and R. Bossi and completed his studies in 1937. In 1941 he took part in a training course of V. Frazzi at the Academia Chigiana in Siena. He earned diplomas in subjects of composition, piano, vocal polyphony, choral music and choral singing. From 1938 he taught at the Conservatory of Milan, where he held a professorship in composition between 1957 until 1979. His students included, inter alia, C. Abbado, Bruno Canino, Azio Corghi, F. Degrada, Arman Gentilucci, R. Muti and M. Pollini. For his teaching him the Associazione Nazionale the critici Musicali issued in 1990 the Premio Massimo Mila. Bettinelli won numerous awards (including the Angelicum, in 1942 and 1947, Borgo Nuovo, 1948, Città di Bologna, 1964, Città di Trieste, 1964) and was a member of the Accademia di Santa Cecilia in Rome. He also worked as a music critic.

While Bettinelli first anknüpfte in his works to the work of Paul Hindemith - this shows up in strict, mainly contrapuntal scale compositions such as due INVENZIONI (1939 ) or even Fantasia e fuga su temi Gregorian (1942 ) - to appear in his later works, although he has always adopted towards the progressive currents of contemporary music a detached attitude, atonal influences, and finally the use dodecaphonic series (but of definite and binding rules exempt ). Characteristic of his musical language are also the energetic rhythm and contrapuntal writing. The continuous interest in avant-garde experiments mediated his music undeniably a tonal and harmonic modernity as well as a continuous extension of the musical material.
