He published essays on Beethoven, Liszt, Wagner, and Puccini, as well as many papers on Italian composers of the “Generation of the Eighties”. For his monograph on Alfredo Casella’s orchestral poems, published by De Sono, he received the award “Arthur Rubinstein. Una vita per la musica giovani” (2016).
