 Carlo Domeniconi was born in Cesena (Italy) in 1947. He began to
study the guitar with Carmen Lenzi-Mozzani at the age of 13. At that time he
also started to compose his first pieces. Having obtained a diploma from the
Conservatory of Pesaro when he was only 17 years old, he went to (West)-Berlin
where he gained a second diploma. He also went on to study composition and as
well held a lecturing post at the College of Arts (Hochschule der Künste,
Berlin) from 1969 to 92. At one stage (1977-80), he taught guitar as the first
teacher at the Istanbul Conservatory. Domeniconi has written numerous pieces
for solo instruments, chamber music and orchestral works. His output includes
13 concertos for one or two guitars and orchestra as well a various
compositions for solo guitar, and chamber music combinations including the
guitar. Owing to his familiarity with Indian, Arabian and Turkish musical
forms, rhythmical and tonal systems, he was able to endow his works with a
highly distinctive idiom and to develop a personal style entirely his own.
