Since detailed biographical information is not available, the entry GALLI RAFFAELLO by Fortunato Sconzo is reported in full: “Flutist of great merit and continuator of the great classical Italian school, he had the honour of being the flutist of the college of music professors of S. Gaetano, a member of the Florentine Philharmonic, an honorary member of the Royal Academy and a technical expert of flute in the Royal Musical Institute. He published many compositions for flute, such as concerts, divertimentos, fantasies, various transcriptions of motifs from theatrical works, duets and more. His method L'indispensabile, which has been reprinted many times, contains those famous and truly instructive “thirty exercises” not too respected by the modern mania for correction!”
