plant

Iannaccone published around 50 works, including three symphonies, several works for choir and orchestra, numerous chamber music works and music for wind orchestra . After an early serial phase from 1967 to 1975, his work can be divided into two areas: abstract and intense works on the one hand and melodic pieces on the other (called by Iannaccone 'small-audience' or 'large audience' music ), whereby many of his concert band works fall into the second category. Iannaccone achieved a synthesis of these two styles in his Two-Piano Inventions and in his Third Symphony, which is also inspired by the poetry of Walt Whitman .
