Sylvio Lazzari (Bozen, Austria, December 30th 1857 - Suresnes, June 10th 1944) is a French type-setter of Austrian origin.

Biography

He comes to Paris in 1882 after having made studies of right in Austria. Raise Conservatoire of Paris, it follows the courses of Ernest Guiraud and Charles Gounod. Encouraged by Ernest Slipper and César Franck, Lazzari is fixed definitively in France and obtains French nationality in 1896. It occupies several official stations; he is president from the Wagner Company in Paris, chief of the choruses to the Opéra of Monte Carlo.

Lazzari is subject to two influences: wagnerism, resulting from its first Germanic education and teaching from Franck, and the impressionism of the French type-setters. Brittany is one of its sources of major inspiration. Of these contradictory currents, Lazzari cannot carry out a synthesis of it. It thus will compose sometimes into Wagnerian its dramatic music, sometimes as a poet his parts for orchestras and its melodies.
