In his teens Mr. Martino's clarinet teacher carted him around from Italian Feast to Italian Feast: from Brooklyn to Long Island to New Jersey. Italian Band music was the game and Donald was game. Now, some 50 years later the manuscripts inherited from his teacher are being transcribed so you can perform them with piano much as Mr. Martino performed them with Band. First Issue: DIVERTIMENTO based on G. Verdi's opera "Un Ballo in Maschera" (Adaptation-2000). |
