This seventh and last volume of the complete piano works of Sgambati, who was
one of the most authoritative of Liszt’s pupils and an extraordinary
leading force in the musical life of Rome in the second half of the nineteenth
century, is a supplementary appendix and presents a general survey of all the
sides of Sgambati’s creativity.

It contains almost exclusively unpublished pieces, including his last Notturno,
the transcription for four hands of his first important symphonic work (the
Sinfonia Festosa, played by Francesco Caramiello and Francesco Libetta), and an
unpublished, brilliant piano version of Bach’s Suite in B minor BWV1067
that follows the great tradition of Liszt’s school, alongside the
well-known transcriptions by Tausig, d’Albert and Siloti. Here Sgambati
avoids the allurement of a lofty sonorousness, and prefers a limpid texture and
bright overall resonance, differing from the contemporary transcriptions by
Martucci and the later ones by Busoni, which were characterised by a massive
orchestral writing. Sgambati’s transcription preserves the clarity of the
contrapuntal structure, without any concession to grandiosity of sound.
