Ricardo di Napoli

Antonino Pasculli (1842-1924), perhaps the greatest oboe virtuoso of historical memory was called the Paganini of the Oboe. Like Paganini, not finding compositions which could fully exploit his extraordinary capacity, he composed the major part of the works he performed himself. His most famous composition is Ricordi di Napoli, an interesting scherzo brillante for oboe and orchestra.
