		Throughout the life of Pietro Mascagni the word ‘music’ meant ‘opera’ and musical theatre: "When my imagination runs dry I shall compose symphonies!" was one of his famous quips.
		And yet, when he was still just a promising youth, Mascagni had produced worthy essays in non-theatrical music, with two symphonies (of 1879 and 1881 respectively), the Elegy on the death of Wagner of 1883, the Kyrie of 1880 and the Messa di Gloria of 1888.
		We feel sure that the sanguine Mascagni would express his displeasure were he to know that today the only parts still performed of some of his operas are the symphonic passages, and that his only work which has found a stable place in the repertoire is the masterpiece of his youth, Cavalleria Rusticana.

		Mascagni then relates his renewed wanderings with Maresca’s company, arriving on December 29, 1885, at Cerignola, to find there a home for several years.
		In short Mascagni is, so far, as much the one-opera composer of "Cavalleria" as Bizet is the one-opera composer of "Carmen." That is his one grand success.
		Mascagni is in temperament, disposition, and character earnest, active, benevolent, sincere, and reliable.
