Teodoro Anzellotti is not your run-of-the-mill accordion player -- you won't find him playing at wedding receptions or polka parties. In fact, if
Anzellotti plays anything remotely resembling traditional accordion music, it must be exclusively in the privacy of his own home, because you won't find it on any of his numerous recordings, his extensive performance history, or his repertoire list. Instead, he specializes in new music, and occasionally branches out, creating transcriptions of Baroque keyboard works and classics of early modernism, such as music by
Satie. He has had numerous works written for him, most notably
Berio's Sequenza XIII, the final installment in the composer's historic series of solos for virtuosi.
