Carlo Zecchi
Italian conductor and pianist (1903–1984)
Carlo Zecchi (8 July 1903 – 31 August 1984) was an Italian pianist, music teacher and conductor.
Zecchi was born in Rome. A pupil of F. Baiardi for piano and of L. Refice and A. Bustini for composition, he began his career as a concert pianist at only seventeen years of age.[1] He later studied piano with Ferruccio Busoni and Artur Schnabel in Berlin.[2] In 1938, he stopped playing the piano to study conducting with Hans Münch and Antonio Guarnieri.[3] He led pianistic courses in Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia, Rome, and in Salzburg. He was a highly acclaimed performer of the works of Domenico Scarlatti, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Claude Debussy and of other Romantic music. He died in Salzburg.
