See also:LOGROSCINO (or Lo GRoscINo), NICOLA (1700?–1763 ?) , See also:Italian musical composer, was See also:born at See also:Naples and was a See also:pupil of See also:Durante . In 1738 he collaborated with See also:Leo and others in the hasty See also:production of Demelrio; in the autumn of the same See also:year he produced a comic See also:opera L'inganno per inganno, the first of a See also:long See also:series of comic operas, the success of which won him the name of " it Dio dell' opera buffa." He went to See also:Palermo, probably in 1747, as a teacher of See also:counterpoint; as an opera composer he is last heard of in 176o, and is supposed to have died about 1763 . See also:Logroscino has been credited with the invention of the concerted operatic See also:finale, but as far as can be seen from the See also:score of Il Governatore and the few remaining fragments of other operas, his finales show no advance upon those of Leo . As a musical humorist, however, he deserves remembrance, and may justly be classed alongside of See also:Rossini . |
