Saverio Mercadante (baptised 17 September 1795 – 17 December 1870) was an Italian composer, particularly of operas. While Mercadante may not have retained the international celebrity of Donizetti or Rossini beyond his own lifetime, he composed as prolific a number of works as either; and his development of structures, styles and orchestration contributed significantly to the foundations upon which Verdi built his dramatic technique. Throughout his life Mercadante generated more instrumental works than most of his contemporary composers of operas due to his lifelong preoccupation with orchestration.
