Ettore Pozzoli (July 23, 1873 – November 9, 1957) was an Italian classical pianist and composer.
Biography
Born in the Italian city of Seregno, Ettore Pozzoli began his career soon after he received his music diploma from the Milan Conservatory in 1895. While writing music for piano and orchestra, he started teaching at the Milan Conservatory.
His works on theory and solfeggio, even nowadays considered the basis of the studies of any pianist, are known for the progressive difficulty, for harmony and counterpoint.
His composition, Danza fantastica, was chosen in 1956 as the compulsory piece for competitors at the sixth World Accordion Contest in Gdańsk.
Pozzoli died on 9 November 1957 in Seregno (Italy), where, since 1959, an international piano contest in his honour takes place organized by the city.
