Ciciliani

Catalogue of works, 1989–2018

93 works, the newest first. Up to 2013 the list follows the work lists Ciciliani published himself, which were sorted by instrumentation. After that he stopped keeping those categories, so the later entries come from concert programmes and announcements. Each entry also says on which page of this site the work is described in more detail.
