I have little information on the Italian composer Cesare Galeotti (1870-1929) except that he was a piano prodigy born in Pietrasanta, Tuscany (where a square is named after him) who received piano lessons in Rome from Sgambati at age 8, and played to Verdi in Milan at 11. He went to the Paris Conservatoire at age 13, and won first prize in Cesar Franck's organ class in 1887. He seems to have been active between France and Italy, and wrote two operas ('Anton' (1900) with a libretto by Puccini's librettist, Luigi Illica) and 'La Denise' (1910)) and orchestral works. His piano works seem to have been mainly salon pieces. I like the vigour of this early gavotte.
