About this product

Product Information

Silvio Scionti was a zestful, colorful figure, as well as a master pianist and teacher. Stories about him, particularly about his more than ten-year career at the University of NorthTexas, are legion, and author Jack Guerry--a former Scionti student--has collected many of them in this remembrance and biography. Scionti firmly established his reputation as a compelling pianist, whose playing has been described as powerful, vital, and full of eloquence, during his twenty-six years at the American Conservatory in Chicago. Known especially throughout the United States and Europe for his duo-piano playing, Scionti's career flourished when he married Texan Isabel Laughlin, and the "irreproachable and irrepressible Sciontis" impressed critics wherever they played. Lured to North Texas in 1942, the Sciontis were instrumental in the growth of the School of Music to the stature it still claims today. Scionti's "buoyant spirit," enthusiasm, talent, and reputation brought students to Denton from around the country. Many members of Scionti's "student family"--themselves now professionals and teachers--have contributed their recollections to this volume including tales of Scionti's proverbial Italian spaghetti dinners, exhausting hikes up Mount Etna, and high-speed sight-seeing along Italian mountain lanes with Scionti at the wheel of his "magnificent red Buick." The "indefatigable" Scionti never stopped: When he was seventy and near the end of his North Texas career, he organized a ten-day tour of five states for his eight-piano emsemble--taking the eight pianos along and assembling them at each of the thirteen cities visited. Even through his "retirement" years, Scionti still was busy teaching and opening professional doors for students who continued to seek him out.
