Through 1829 Rossini was an extraordinarily prolific composer of operas, comic, serious, and semiserious , in Italian and French, as well as of a great deal of vocal and instrumental music.

He composed sacred music, vocal treatises, cantatas . Then, for many different reasons, he wrote very little music for more than twentyfive years, if we except some songs and the ' Stabat Mater' . Only after he left Italy definitively for Paris in 1855 did he find his voice again.

Between 1857 and 1868 a fresh group of masterpieces issued from his pen, the so-called ' Peches de vieillesse ' (Sins of Old Age), including chamber music, songs, and the 'Petite Messe Solennelle'.

Practica l Harmony is a monumental anthology in four volumes comprising nearly two hundred compositions by Italian, German, English and Austrian composers chosen by Clementi in his combined role of editor and, in some cases, arranger. Above all, the double and self-evident destination for organ and piano, in itself not new but nevertheless not so frequent, since it deals with a choice of compositions mostly concerning the so-called stile osservato. The name of each instrument is printed on the same line and in the same font. If then, we add to this that an appropriate number of pieces is taken from what can more correctly be called the harpsichord repertoire, the anthology acquires what could be described as a distinctive and even more interesting ‘keyboard eclecticism’.
