Adagio in G minor
Adagio in G minor
He was also the president of RAI's auditioning committee and editor of its series of biographies on composers. Giazotto was the father of physicist Adalberto Giazotto.
Giazotto is famous for his publication in 1958 of a work called Adagio in G minor, which he claimed to have elaborated from a fragment of an Albinoni trio sonata that he had received from the Saxon State Library. According to Giazotto, it contained the bass line in print and six bars from the first violin part in manuscript. However, the fragment has never appeared in public, and the work was copyrighted by Giazotto.
