Am researching Gaetano Labanchi. I am seeking biographical information and details of his professional history. He was active in Italy [Milan?] at the end of the nineteenth century.
He wrote a wonderful method book--Progressive Method Part II, revised and edited by Soccoroso Pirolo. It has an English and Italian text. Published by Carl Fischer, it is now out of print. Beautiful and extremely challenging etudes in all major and minor keys in high Bel Canto style.
Anyone with information on Labanchi, Pirolo, and, especially, where I can obtain a copy of the Progressive Method please contact me.
