At the end of the presentation the conductor and pianist Michele Gamba, who is member of this year’s jury, plays Puccini’s ‘Piccolo Valzer’ and Riccardo Risaliti plays Paul Wittgenstein’s left-hand only transcription of the “humming chorus” from “Madama Butterfly.”


The 2024 edition takes place in the centenary of Giacomo Puccini’s death


21 December 2023, 11:49

2024 is the centenary since Giacomo Puccini’s death,  and the Massarosa International Competition, which takes place on the shore of the lake where Villa Puccini is located, wants to pay him a tribute by asking the contestants to play one of the Maestro’s pieces. It will be possible to choose between “Piccolo Valzer“, “Scossa Elettrica” and an interesting transcription of Madama Butterfly’s “Coro a bocca chiusa” (humming chorus) for the left hand, composed by the austrian pianist Paul Wittgenstein (dedicatee of Maurice Ravel’s “Concerto for the left hand”).
The competition will take place from June 12 to 15 in the Teatro Vittoria Manzoni (Massarosa).
