Biography
Children and education
Cesare Pugni was born in Genoa.
His early family life is rather obscure, but it seems Pugni his father Filippo was a clock and watchmaker with at a time, a successful shop in Via Rebecchino in the neighborhood of the Palazzo del Duomo, near the cathedral of Milan. According to family tradition Pugni's name is the Italian word for the fists are acquired when a noble ancestor had lost his family fortune and social rank and restored to his family through hard work "by their own fists."
Pugni began his musical studies at an early age. At some point Pugni family became familiar with the noted composer Peter Winter, whose reaction to the seven-year-old's first symphony Pugni prompted him to take the child under their care.

Winter was organized for young Pugni to be admitted to the Royal Conservatory of Music of Milan Imperial (now known and the Conservatory of Milan). At that time Milan was the capital of the Kingdom of Lombardy-Venetia, then part of Austrian Empire. From the Milan Conservatory was in the territory of the Kingdom known as Lombardy, residents were only allowed to Lombardy to be admitted as students. Thanks to the recommendation of winter Pugni thirteen years he was accepted into the institute in 1814 as a non-Lombard, at state expense.
During his training at the conservatory he studied the young Pugni with many noted teachers of music. Among the instructors are Pugni Bonifazio Asioli (17691832), with whom he studied composition and counterpoint; Alessandro Rolla, the instructor Niccolò Paganini, who taught him the violin, and Carlo Soliva, under whom he studied music theory. While still a young student, Pugni was given the opportunity composing several pieces for ballets and operas at La Scala Theatre and assistant Canobbiana and perform their own compositions for violin with great success.
At the request of his family, Pugni was allowed to leave the conservatory in 1822, the "official" reason for continuing disease. In fact, administration La Scala greatly desired Pugni be at work, and from the Milan Conservatory would not allow a student who does not pay to leave the school without completing their education, Pugni was "officially" said to be ill so that he could be free to work for the theater. Pugni then settled in at home Asioli Correggio, where he completed his musical studies under his tutelage.
La Scala
Not long after leaving Milan Imperial Royal Conservatory of Music Pugni began playing the violin in the orchestra of La Scala and Canobbiana.
The first documented length ballet created for the music that was Pugni Gaetano Balletmaster Il Castello di Kenilworth Gioja, based on Walter Scott's novel Kenilworth and first presented at La Scala in 1823. ballet music at the time was often a musical pastiche and the printed libretto for this work credits as the score are mounting issues arising from "several well-known composers."
Pugni was one of the first composers of the early Romantic period, to create original music for the ballet, that is, the scores are gathered from the air many composers and / or work. A score of these was written in 1826 by Louis Henry Pugni Elerz and Zulma ballet, a score also noted for being one of the first compositions for the ballet to use the technique of leitmotif. The success of e Zulma Elerz three committees brought about more than Henry, and soon Pugni was sought by some of the most distinguished choreographers then working in Italy, including Salvatore Taglioni (uncle of Marie Taglioni), and Giovanni Galzerani.
Growing Pugni popularity as a composer capable of light, sweet dance music was fined for publishing a series of piano reductions of extracts from his works, including the popular Scottish Dance 1837 his ballet L'assedio di Calais (The Siege of Calais), which, as every one of his works published during his lifetime, sold very well.
Although demonstrated a talent for writing music for ballet, Pugni real ambition at this time would become an opera composer. There have been occasions when we had been commissioned to compose an aria from "to order" for several performances at La Scala, and such assignments encouraged him to pursue this ambition. In 1831, his disertore svizzero opera Il, ovvero La nostalgia premiered at The Canobbiana in Milan, with their teacher Alessandro Rolla to perform. The work was praised for its variety and originality and was revered by his fellow musicians of the composer.
It was during this time that Pugni began composing a large number of masses, symphonies and several other orchestral pieces. A Symphony (Symphony for an orchestra or due) was scored for two orchestras, both of which would play the same piece but with an orchestra of some bar after another. Pugni was at first reluctant to compose a piece, but his pupil at the time, visiting Mikhail Glinka, encouraged him. The first performance of the Sinfonia For an orchestra or was a great success. This piece Giacomo Meyerbeer so impressed that he was known to hold a manuscript of the work to show your friends a supreme example of virtuosity in composition.
These successes lead to Pugni duly appointed as master to Cembalo in La Scala. In addition to fulfilling their duties, also Pugni taught the violin and counterpoint when time permitted. In style and structure, Pugni symphonies and concert music has been compared to typical jobs composers of the classical period as Muzio Clementi and Joseph Haydn.
Pugni scored two more operas for the Teatro Canobbiana in 1833 and 1834, which were heard with considerable respect. Pugni also continued to compose various orchestral pieces, as well as earning him a reputation and notoriety.
Paris
Despite the success Pugni initial in the field of music, just two years after his appointment as Master the harpsichord, all prospects collapsed, and was dismissed of La Scala in what appears to have been misappropriation of funds, a product probably instigated by his notorious passion for gambling and liquor that he had made to the considerable amount of debt. In early 1834, Pugni left Milan in an effort to escape his creditors.
With his wife and children, went to Paris Pugni, where they lived in poverty, while the composer was desperate for employment. He was employed for a time as the scribe of the famous Italien Thtre, where at the end of 1834 met an old friend, the Italian composer Vincenzo Bellini, which at that time was busy in the theater to mount his opera I Puritani, while simultaneously preparing a special version of the work for the Teatro di San Carlo in Naples. For the production of Naples on soprano role was supposed to be reviewed by the vocal talents of The Prima Donna Maria Malibran, and since the production of I Puritani Bellini in Paris was put under considerable pressure, called on the parties to copy Pugni of the score will be presented in Naples without change.
Pugni did this, but he also made a second copy of the full score and then sold the manuscript the Teatro di San Carlo at a high price. Soon Bellini was told that the theater had bought an official copy of score, and no longer require their services. Bellini was crushed, because not only Pugni had paid five francs a copy, but also gave him money when necessary in order to feed his family, and was known frequently to not only Pugni give unwanted clothes, but she begged her friends to send their unwanted dresses to Mrs. Pugni. Bellini wrote in his diary: "It will be a lesson for me. If it were not for her six children innocent, I want to ruin it. "Bellini recalled later in an unfinished letter written in 1835 how" … Pugni infamous conduct shattered my faith in human nature. "
In 1836 he was commissioned Pugni Luis Enrique, choreographer of several of his ballet scores first to compose the music for the ballet Liacone, which took place in Naples for the Ballet del Teatro di San Carlo. At that time Henry was appointed to the Paris Opra, the realization of those sections of the opera ballet Gioacchino Rossini, William Tell, so Henry used ballet music Pugni L'Assedio di Calais. Pugni then traveled to Naples to attend the dance music of the opera-sections. Soon after, Henry died of cholera.
In 1837 he returned to Paris where he began Pugni to work for the Casino Paganini until its closure in 1840. Then he began serving as a ghost writer "musical" of sorts for the legendary Paris Opra (The theater that time is officially known as the de l'Thtre Acadmie Royale de Musique). Pugni was responsible for editing, proofreading, and organizing around all the music of the ballets presented on stage at the theater. Often, the composers of the era of the copyist left orchestrations or principal director of an Opera House, and his extraordinary facility in sight reading and score, Pugni was often given the task of arranging the compositions of others. A tradition passed down from his descendants says that during this time either composed or orchestrated Pugni all or part of the score by Adolphe Adam Giselle, although no evidence is known to exist in support of this. Pugni served in this role Opra in Paris from 1836 to 1843, and even provided additional anonymous Pas and variations for dancers visit when necessary.
It was during this time that he met Benjamin Pugni Lumleyirector of His Majesty's Theatre in London. Through Pugni Lumley met renowned choreographer Jules Perrothe and Balletmaster Theatrehom of His Majesty on its commitments as a guest artist at the Paris Opra Pugni found extraordinary facility with the composition and orchestration. In 1843 Pugni Lumley offered the post of Composer of the ballet music of His Majesty's Theatre.

In the fall of 1843, Pugni went to London and soon gained a renewed period of great success. These were years too for prolific composer: among the theater of the seasons 1843 and 1850, Pugni produced an impressive array of qualifications of three of the greatest choreographers of the time: Jules Perrot, Arthur Saint-Paul Taglioni Lon y. Not long after arriving in London Pugni married his second wife, Marion (or Mary Ann ") Linton.
Jules Perrot
During the heyday of the romantic ballet in Her Majesty's Theatre during the 1840s, Cesare Pugni wrote music for ballets almost every one of Jules Perrot. In 1843, produced Perrot Ondine, ou La Naad story of a naiad jealousy in love with an Italian fishermanor the great ballerina Fanny Cerrito. In 1844, Perrot was his most famous book and enduring, La Esmeralda of the dancer Carlotta Grisi.
In 1845 alone, six new scores Pugni, including the celebrated Pas de Quatre fun, and fantastic oline, ou Dryade created for the Danish dancer Lucille Grahn. Pugni score for oline contained a number of celebrated pieces composed for harp solo written to decorate the dance Grahn.
In 1846, Perrot was the oriental extravaganza Lalla Rookhased in Thomas Moore's poem of the same as a score composed nameor Pugni complete pseudo-Arab issues. That same year, Perrot and collaborated Pugni Catarina, ou La Fille du Bandit Grahn dancer. Like La Esmeralda, Catarina became in one of the most famous of the 19th century.
During his time in London Pugni composed of a considerable number of additional pas, variations, divertissements, dancing and accidents that have taken place often called "deviations" during a night of entertainment in the theater. Often, the dancers of the great Romantic ballet would make several tarantella, polkas, mazurkas, etc. between the acts of the operas, and the accompaniment Pugni for such dances are often published in piano reduction.
During end of 1840, Perrot Pugni and traveled to several theaters throughout Europe, to organize their collaborations. In 1845, staged at La Esmeralda and La Scala Opera Ballet of the Court in Berlin, where he danced the lead role by the great Fanny Elssler. In 1847, Perrot Pugni and mounted Lalla Rookh Catarina and La Scala. In 1848, Perrot was invited to request Fanny Elssler to the stage of La Esmeralda for the Imperial Ballet of St. Petersburg, Russia.
Paul Taglioni
In the short duration of their collaboration, wrote Pugni many scores of Paul Taglioni celebrated for its commitments as a guest choreographer at the Theatre of His Majesty. In 1847 alone, Pugni wrote four ballets for Taglioni, including Coralia, ou Le Chavalier Inconstant and Tha, ou La Fe flower. More work followed, including Les Plaisirs de l'Hiver in 1849, and the popular Mtamorphoses Les (also known as Satanella) in 1850.
Arthur Saint-Lon
Pugni also left a deep impression on Arthur Saint-Lon, one of the most famous choreographers of the time. During the 1840s, Saint-Lon was hired as ballet master at the Paris Opra, and traveled there often Pugni to compose music for the works of choreographer. Saint-Lon Pugni and created many successful works while in Paris, including La Fille de Marbre (a revival of Perrot Alma) in 1847, a revival of The Vivandire in 1848, a revival of La Violon du Diable in 1849 and Stella in 1850, by Pugni he composed many popular songs in the Neapolitan style.
Russia
In 1849 Jules Perrot and Cesare Pugni traveled to St. Petersburg to the stage of La Esmeralda Elssler the ballerina Fanny, who was hired as a dancer invited by the Imperial Ballet. While in the imperial capital Perrot was offered the post of prime minister Matre Ballet to begin in the 1850-1851 season, which he accepted. In this position, Perrot advised the Court that the Minister Pugni accompany him to Russia to serve as the official composer of ballet music to the St. Petersburg Imperial Theatres. Until that time in St. Petersburg, composition new music for ballet typically fell head conductor of the orchestra, which was in this case, Konstantin Liadov. A new position was created so the Ballet San Petersurg Songwriter of the Imperial Theaters in Pugni.
Maestro Cesare Pugni. London. Circa 1843
In the winter of 1850, Pugni broken all ties with London and Paris. He arrived in St. Petersburg with English wife Marion Linton and her seven children. In 1860, Pugni maintain two households was the first with his English wife, and the second woman Daria Petrovna servant, who was father of eight more before the end of his life.
In the winter of 1861, Anton Rubinstein Pugni hired to teach composition and counterpoint at the newly established St. Petersburg Conservatory of Music, a position he held with great success and respect until his death.
During his time as prime minister Matre Ballet of St. Petersburg Imperial Theatres, Jules Perrot organized many of the works he had originally set for Her Majesty's Theatre in London. Unlike companies Ballet in London or Paris, the St. Petersburg Imperial Theatre presents performances of the evening-length ballet separated from the opera. As Pugni was the author of almost all music to the works of Perrot, the composer expanded many of his scores for productions of Ballet Master. Such replacements will extend the Naad et le pcheur (the Naiad and the fisherman), a revival of Ondine, ou La Naad in 1851, and oline, ou la Dryade in 1858. Many of the scores of the cadences Pugni appears to contribute to renowned soloists the orchestra of the Imperial Theatre, many of whom were members of the nobility and even the imperial family. Apart from his replacements of existing works, Perrot Pugni and created several ballets with great success of Grand, including, La Guerre des femmes (The Women's War) in 1852; Gazelda in 1853, and the great Armida in 1855.
In 1855 he wrote L'Pugni toile de Granada (La Estrella de Granada), his first ballet for the choreographer Marius Petipa, who had been serving as assistant and dancer Jules Perrot first class the Imperial Theaters since they arrived from Russia in 1847. Petipa was becoming a famous choreographer in his own right, as he turned to the growing membership.
Perrot left Russia in 1858, and found himself in need Pugni both Petipa and Arthur Saint-Lon, who succeeded as Prime Minister Matre Perrot Ballet of St. Petersburg the Imperial Theaters. The two choreographers, highly gifted in his art and dramatically different in their approach to the creation of the Grand Ballet, were involved in healthy and productive rivalry in the imperial stage. Despite the differences between Saint-Lon and styles of Petipa, Cesare Pugni composed the music for almost every one of his works during the 1860s.
Later life
Pugni began to be increasingly less reliable as they age, becoming a major depression, drinking, game and leaving his family to fend for themselves for days at a time. As a result, Petipa was increasingly difficult to extract music from it, and the quality of his work experienced declined markedly. In his memoirs, Petipa cited a letter written by him in 1860 Pugni: I tearfully ask you to send some money, I am penniless. The letter also includes sections for newly formed next Petipa ballet Le Dahlia bleu (The Blue Dahlia). The premiere is coming, and Petipa had been receiving music the composer in a gradual manner. It became clear to Petipa had Pugni score off the most difficult sections and left to be done last. Mid 1860 situation, as was common.
In 1862, Pugni composed the music for Petipa's The Pharaoh's Daughter, produced in only 6 weeks for the prima ballerina Italian Carolina Rosati. The production was so successful that he gained by Petipa the position of the Second Matre Ballet. In 1864, Pugni composed the music of Saint-Lon's horse little hunchback, who was so successful as Pharaoh's daughter. Although he received the laurels for his score for Petipa The Pharaoh's Daughter, the score of Pugni for hunchbacked horse caused a sensation with the balletomanes St. Petersburg, which was seen as a tribute to the traditional music of Russia. The march entitled The Peoples of Russia from the last act of this ballet became a favorite of Tsar Alexander II (many of the marches Pugni and intermissions were made both in the dances of Imperial and diplomatic functions.)

Despite these times of inspiration, however, became increasingly unreliable Pugni. Enrico Cecchetti recounted in his memoirs Petipa how he liked to tell anecdotes of Pugni in her old age as a story told many excuses for not delivering music Pugni time: when told that his cat Petipa had scratched his hand, making him unable to hold his pen. On another occasion, Pugni music came to trial without requiring the day, informing Petipa had no candles on the writing. When Petipa staged a big box of candles in the house gave Pugni, the composer said in the trial the next day that he did not write the music required because he was forced to sell candles to eat. Petipa was even forced to hire someone to monitor the composer to ensure that all music would be necessary ready on time. Despite these incidents, eight Pugni been composing new scores between 1865 and 1868 for the Imperial Ballet, although these were mostly a short ballet act and amusements.
Saint-Lon also had difficulties with unreliable Pugni, and began to turn the composer Ludwig Minkus's music for ballet. In 1865, Saint-Lon wrote to his friend Charles Nuitter:
Pugni has almost disappeared. It was found in the woods 16 miles from the city (St. Petersburg), 300 rubles due to traders. The Minister Court paid the sum, and a collection of dancers from the company, which was 200 rubles, is used to feed his wife and eight children, five of which are very young. You must be 5800 rubles in total, while for the last twenty years has been receiving 1,200 francs per month (for royalties scores performed in Paris), plus a benefit!
In 1868, Pugni composed the music for Petipa ballet colossal great Candaules Le Roi (King Candaules), about Herodotus history Candaules King of Lydia. This would be the last score Length Pugni, though no less famous, because it caused a sensation among balletomanes day and proved to be among the most enduring works Petipa.
Unbeknownst to many, Pugni Petipa originally planning to write music for his ballet Don Quixote to be mounted on the Bolshoi Theatre in Moscow in 1869. But the irresponsibility of Petipa Pugni quickly forced to reconsider, and instead turned to Ludwig Minkus (Don Quixote would be one of two Petipa and the most famous and enduring works Minkus'). In the end, the score of Don Quixote only includes a change made by Pugni: a waltz composed for the character Kitri in the ballet's final Grand pas de deux.
Death
At the end of 1869 and recovered to score Pugni music an act toiles Petipa ballet Les Deux (two stars). This score is generally considered among his greatest works for ballet, but also to be his last died on January 26 [OS January 14] 1870.
Cesare Pugni was buried in the Roman Catholic Cemetery in St. Petersburg Vyborgskaya (the cemetery was completely destroyed 1939). Pugni died in absolute poverty, and in his death, his extended family was total misery.
In honor of the composer, and for a benefit performance for his family, gala was prepared with extracts from many of the works by Petipa Pugni May 1870. That same year, Petipa staged a revival of Catarina, which opens on 13 November [OS November 1] of 1870, again as a benefit performance for the family of the composer. Petipa then introduced the final work Pugni, Les toiles Deux, on February 11 [OS January 30] 1869 benefit performance for the Imperial Ballet dancer Pavel Gerdt Premier. The ballet was premiered with great success and was performed by the St. Petersburg ballet sometimes until just before the Russian Revolution of 1917. Petipa also carried out the work under the title Les Deux petites toiles (The Two Little Stars) for the Ballet of Moscow Imperial Bolshoi Theatre in 1878. The ballet was re-staged for the company in a new version of the Clustine Balletmaster Ivan in 1897, a production that remained in the repertory of the Bolshoi until 1925.
