Italian composer Luigi Dallapiccola was born at Pisino, Istria (now in Croatia) on 3 February 1904. As a composer he was a convert to serialism although a strong vein of lyricism never forsook him. He had an equal facility as a pianist and gave recitals throughout Europe. He died in Florence on 19 February 1975.
