Giovanni Sgambati (May 28, 1841 – December 14, 1914) was an Italian pianist, conductor and composer. Sgambati was a consistent advocate of Italian instrumental music and throughout his life refused to write an opera. This also explains his desire to make the development of non-Italian symphonic music known in his homeland. His own compositions were influenced by the music of Beethoven, Wagner and Liszt. Sgambati composed two symphonies, several works of chamber music and many works for piano, as well as songs and sacred music, including a requiem.
