Riduzione per flauto e pianoforte - revisione di Ginevra Petrucci-Giulio Briccialdi (1818-1881) has been one of the major European flutists of the Nineteenth Century.

His refined activity as a composer is nowadays mostly known thanks to his paraphrases on operatic themes and to his didactic output but it is through his concertos ? a real cornerstone in the instrumental virtuosic repertoire of the 1800s ? that Briccialdi exploits the pinnacle of his opera-influenced style. Briccialdi?s concertos are intended for technically and stylisticallyadvanced performers.
