  • Cesare Pugni (born 31 May 1802 in Genoa, Italy – Napoleonic Italian Republic; died in St. Petersburg, Russian Empire) was an Italian composer of ballet music, a pianist and a virtuoso violinist. In his early career he composed operas, symphonies, and various other forms of orchestral music. Cesare Pugni is most noted for the ballets he composed while serving as Composer of the Ballet Music to Her Majesty's Theatre in London (1843-1850), and as Ballet Composer of the St. Petersburg Imperial Theatres and to the Court of His Imperial Majesty in St. Petersburg, Russian Empire (1850-1870). Cesare Pugni is the most prolific composer of the genre of ballet music that has ever lived — by the end of his life he had composed close to 100 known original scores for the ballet and adapted and/or revised many other works. He also composed a myriad of incidental dances—such as divertissements and variations—many of which were added to countless other works. The majority of these works spawned incidental dances which were much celebrated in their day. A great deal of Cesare Pugni's complete scores and incidental dances, etc. were published in piano reduction, and sold very well, while other dances were sold as "traditional" by publishers such as T. Boosey or Jullien after the copyright expired with no credit given to the composer. Of Cesare Pugni's original scores for the ballet, he is perhaps best-known today for Ondine, ou La Naïade, a.k.a. La Naïade et le pêcheur (1843); La Esmeralda (1844); Éoline, ou La Dryade (1845), Catarina, ou La Fille du Bandit (1846); The Pharaoh's Daughter (1862); The Little Humpbacked Horse (1864); and Le Roi Candaule (1868). Of his incidental dances, etc., he is most noted for the Pas de Six from La Vivandière, a.k.a. Markitenka (1844); the Pas de Quatre (1845); La Carnival de Venise (or Satanella pas de deux) from Satanella (1859); the Diane and Actéon Pas de Deux (1868); and his additional music for the ballet Le Corsaire (c. 1858, 1863, 1868). Pugni's works were written for the most influential choreographers of the 19th century from Milan, Paris, Berlin, London, and St. Petersburg. Among these notable Ballet Masters were Arthur Saint-Léon, Paul Taglioni, Marius Petipa and Jules Perrot, who staged nearly every ballet he ever created to the music of Pugni. Nearly every great Ballerina of the Romantic era, from Marie Taglioni to Fanny Cerrito, Lucile Grahn, Fanny Elssler, Carlotta Grisi and Carolina Rosati, danced the majority of their legendary triumphs in ballets set to his music.

  • Cesare Pugni (31. toukokuuta 1802 – 26. tammikuuta 1870) oli italialainen säveltäjä. Hän tuli tunnetuksi varsinkin baleteillaan, joista muutamia ovat Ondine (1843), La Esmeralda (1844), Pas de Quatre (1845) ja La Fille du Pharaon (1862). Pugni työskenteli uransa aikana mm. Milanossa, Pariisissa, Lontoossa ja Pietarissa. Arvostettujen balettien ohella hänen tuotantoonsa kuuluu sinfonioita, kamarimusiikkia, oopperoita, kantaatteja ja messuja. Pugnin balettien kantaesityksissä oli tanssimassa ajan kuuluisimpia tähtiä, kuten Marie Taglioni ja Fanny Cerrito. Säveltäjä kuoli Venäjällä 67-vuotiaana. (fi)
  • Cesare Pugni est un compositeur italien né à Gênes (?) le 31 mai 1802 (?) et mort à Saint-Pétersbourg le 29 janvier 1870. Il a composé la musique de plus de 300 ballets pour les chorégraphes les plus en vue de son temps, parmi lesquels Jules Perrot, Paul Taglioni, Arthur Saint-Léon, et surtout Marius Petipa avec qui il finira sa carrière. Après des études de composition et de violon au Conservatoire de Milan, il compose ses premiers ballets pour la Scala (1823) et s'installe en France en 1834. Il y rencontre Jules Perrot et devient son principal collaborateur, d'abord à l'Opéra de Paris, puis au Her Majesty's Theatre de Londres (1843-1846), et le rejoint à Saint-Pétersbourg en 1848. En 1851, Pugni est nommé compositeur officiel des ballets du Théâtre Mariinsky. (fr)
  • Fu anche un valente pianista ed un violinista virtuoso. È soprattutto famoso per essere stato il compositore di musica da balletto del Her Majesty's Theatre a Londra e Compositore di balletto dei teatri imperiali di San Pietroburgo in Russia. Collaborò con alcuni coreografi di fama internazionale, quali Arthur Saint-Léon, Jules Perrot e Marius Petipa, arrivando a creare le musiche di circa 312 balletti originali. Fu il più prolifico compositore di musica per balletto mai vissuto. Dei balletti originali per i quali scrisse la musica i più noti sono Ondine (1843), La Esmeralda (1844), Caterina, la figlia del bandito (1846), La Figlia del Faraone (1862) e Il Cavallino Gobbo (1864). Compose anche pezzi da inserire entro balletti firmati da più compositori, come il Passo a Sei de La Vivandière (noto anche come Markitenka) (1844); il Grand Pas de Deux dal Carnevale di Venezia (1859) e alcuni pezzi aggiunti per Le Corsaire (circa 1856, 1863). Quasi ogni grande ballerina del periodo romantico da Marie Taglioni a Fanny Cerrito, Lucile Grahn, Fanny Elssler, Carlotta Grisi e Carolina Rosati ha danzato la maggior parte dei propri trionfi in balletti coreografati sulla musica di Pugni.
