Composers
Keller, Karl (1784 - 1855)
The source is the manuscript of parts, Sapienza Università di Roma, Dipartimento di Lettere e Culture moderne, Sezione di Storia della Musica, RMS 2679409. Title page: “Variazioni per flauto con accomp. di un violino, e chitarra / composte dal Sig. Carlo Keller”. I have published this nineteenth- century piece in remembrance of my brother-in-law Antonio de Pizzini, the last descendant of an ancient family, who gave me a collection of about 140 manuscripts and music prints used by the musicians of the family, mainly by the excellent flautist Carlo de Pizzini (1812-1883). The collection was donated by me to the Biblioteca di Storia della Musica dell’Università Sapienza di Roma.
