Italian composer. He was born 1805 in Bergamo, Italy, and died 1865 in Torino. He studied music from 1813 to 1824 at the Bergamo Institute, founded by the Bavarian lyric composer Simon Mayr. Gaetano Donizetti and his brother, and Padre Davide da Bergamo, an organist famous in Italy, studied in the same institute.
Corini leaves his province very young, and settles at Torino as performer, piano teacher and composer. For a musician not keen on lyric art, there is no fruitful perspective in Lombardia, while at this time piano teaching is still uncommon in Piemonte, which is rather inclined towards strings and guitar.
Corini's works are scarce. Some of them are accessible in Italian libraries. Various Piemontese and Milanese editors have mainly published his liturgical organ pieces, a few instrumental, vocal, spiritual and salon pieces along with an organ tutor, which has disappeared as well.
