- first edition - Today, the hornist family Belloli almost has fallen into oblivion. Luigi Belloli, his brother Agostino Belloli, Giuseppe Belloli and the two sons of Luigi Belloli, Giovanni and Giacomo, belonged to this family. Everyone worked as hornist in different orchestras of Italy.
Compositions have remained of Luigi, Agostino and Giuseppe Belloli.
Luigi Belloli at first played in Parma and went 1803 to the Milan Scala as 1st hornist. There he worked as teacher besides the orchestra service also in the conservatory until his death 1817. His brother Agostino followed him in his offices.
Agostino Belloli still uses an older stylistic device, the Banda, in his concert for clarinet and horn, meaning the instrumentation of kettledrum timpani and trombone. In the concert for horn (ROM 191) the Banda is not planned. In the concerts of his brother Luigi Belloli the instrumentation with a Banda is more frequent. This work has a certain uniqueness with the choice of horn and clarinet as solo instruments, no further concert is known to the editor in the literature with this instrumentation. The concert appears hereby for the first time in the pressure.
