Gioachino Antonio Rossini (1792-1868) was an Italian composer, famous for his operas, sacred music, chamber music, songs and some intrusmental and piano compositions. His music was made up of song-like melodies, which inspired his nickanme "the Italian Mozart." Rossini was one of the most popular composers of his time with success after success. He was a foreign associate of the institute and grand officer of the Legion d'honneur, amongst other innumerable orders. Following Rossini's death, Verdi proposed to collaborate with twelve other Italian composers on a "Requiem for Rossini", to be performed on the first anniversary of his death. The score was written, but the performance was abandoned shortly before its scheduled premiere.
