Italian original Cite

CAPRA, MARCELLO. - Musician b. in Turin in 1862, d. there in 1933. A pupil of Haberl and Renner in Regensburg, in 1897 he founded a publishing house in Turin (later merged with the S.T.E.N. in 1906), and in 1899 the journal S. Cecilia for the artistic reform of sacred music. An indefatigable Cecilian propagandist, he organized congresses, concerts, publications of ancient and modern music, and promoted historical and aesthetic studies on ecclesiastical music and on modern piano technique.
