Pugni, Cesare
Born May 31,1802, in Genoa; died Jan. 26, 1870, in St. Petersburg. Italian composer; worked for many years in Russia. Pugni graduated from the Milan Conservatory of Music (1822). He worked as a composer for the ballet in the theaters of Milan, London, Paris, and other European cities. Beginning in 1851 he was a composer of ballet music at the St. Petersburg imperial theaters. He collaborated with the choreographers J. Perrot, A. Saint-Leon, and M. Petipa. He was the composer of many ballets, including La Esmeralda (1844), The Pharaoh’s Daughter (1862), and The Little Humpbacked Horse (based on a tale by P. P. Ershov, 1864), the first ballet on a Russian national theme. He also composed operas and other works. His ballet music, which in itself is of no artistic significance, is characterized by melodiousness and well-defined rhythmic forms; for this reason, some of his ballets have remained in the theatrical repertoire.

No references found | The appallingly trivial Pugni score heaps formula upon cliche Perhaps this is what the average 19th-century Russian ballet looked and sounded like. Marco Bellocchio’s Good Morning, Night (Buongiorno Notte) happens to be the 24th film that the 66-year-old Italian filmmaker has turned out in his 40-year-career, which began with a bang in 1965 with his critically acclaimed Fists in the Pocket (I Pugni in Tasca), a bizarre dissection of a family of incestuous epileptics at war with each other and with the decadent society in which they are enmeshed. Virtuosic dancing tells the tale that is set to the music by five composers: Adolphe Adam, Cesare Pugni, Leo Delibes, Riccardo Drigo and Prince Oldenberg. |
