I'm familiar with the clarinet classic solo "Pepperino", but have no idea what the word means or it's origin? Anyone know what it means?

PEPERINO, without the extra "P" between the E's is a lava-like piece of stone. I really don't believe that PEPPERINO has a true translation. The suffix INO signifies the diminuitive of something; CLARINO, SOPRANINO,etc. Pepper is translated PEPE hence PEPPERINO might mean Zesty Little Guy, just like the suffix ONE (AW'nay)signifies largeness. Little Joe would be PEPPINO.
And just to end this thing on a clarinet note, Giuseppe Verdi
referred th the Bass Clarinet as the CLARONE(large clarinet) in his scores such as AIDA and OTELLO. [Claw-ROW'nay]

Well, I got curious and ran the word "pepperino" through a search engine. The most common hits were a black and white colored marble; gourmet food products (olive oil, cheese) containing either black or red pepper; and both a pedagreed bulldog AND a championship horse named "Pepperino."
I like that clarinet piece also. Next time I play it, though, I'll try not to think of a slab of marble. I'll aim for a spicy food feel combined with the friskiness of Pepperino the filly crossed with the tenacity of Pepperino the bulldog.
