Gaetano Gaspari
Gaetano Gaspari (born March 14, 1807 in Bologna , † March 31, 1881 ibid) was an Italian music researcher and librarian .
Gaetano Gaspari became a student of the Liceo musicale Bologna in 1820, especially Benedetto Donelli's . In 1827 he received the first prize for composition and in 1828 became the municipal conductor in Cento and in 1836 the conductor at the Imola Cathedral . However, at the request of his teacher Donelli, he gave up this position in order to assist him in his teaching profession.
After Donelli's death in 1840 he accepted a singing professorship at the Lyceum. In 1855 he became the curator of the library of the Lyceum, which is famous for its wealth of incunabula of printed music, and in 1857 he became conductor at the Church of San Petronio. Elected to the royal deputation for the study of the history of Romagna in 1866 , he devoted himself entirely to historical and bibliographical studies, which brought him into close academic contact with all music historians at home and abroad.
So far, only the fruits of Gaspari's studies on the 14th-16th centuries are still in evidence. Century accessible (in the reports of the aforementioned deputation); G. left a second part of these studies, dealing with the 17th century, ready for printing.
