The Roman composer, administrator, director and teacher Goffredo Petrassi represents a salient figure in the development of 20thcentury Italian music history. His music, broadly considered neo-classical, was also influenced by serialism and twelve-tone techniques. Pietro Massa's great interest in the Italian piano repertoire of the 19thand 20thcenturies has led him to record several and even discover a Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco after conducting extensive archival research.
