The edition of the Andante e Polacca for violin and piano published here was realized from an autograph manuscript held in the library of the Conservatory of Santa Cecilia in Rome.

An inspired melodic vein; with a cantability typical of Late Romantic Italian compositions; characterizes the piece; especially in the first part. The Polacca distinguishes itself for its virtuosity: rapid scales; brilliant bowings and open string passages keep the bowed-string player engaged during the second and longest part of the piece.

The recovery of this composition has occurred during a period which gives particular importance to the rediscovery of works composed in Italy around the turn of the twentieth century; rarely performed in concert series; which can only be fully appreciated through their promotion and dissemination in the form of musical editions and recordings.
