This is my transcription for Quintet of Allegretto by Italian Organist and composer Filippo Capocci (1840-1911) Filippo Capocci (11 May 1840 – 25 July 1911) was an Italian organist and composer. He was born in Rome and was trained in organ and harmony by his father Gaetano (1811-1898). In 1861, he received a piano diploma from the Accademia di Santa Cecilia in Rome.

In 1875, he was appointed organist of the Archbasilica of St. John Lateran. He took over from his father as choirmaster at the Basilica in 1898. He also served in the Roman churches of St. Ignatius and St. Mary of Montserrat.

Capocci adhered to nineteenth-century musical aesthetics, avoiding the theatrical style, and dedicated himself to a style of performance and composition similar to that of the French organist Alexandre Guilmant. He performed in a series of organ concerts using the Cavaille-Coll organ at Trocadero during the 1889 Paris World Fair.

In 1899, he was accepted as a member of the American Guild of Organists. He was appointed a member of the organ faculty for the Pontifical Institute of Sacred Music in 1911 but was never able to teach because of an illness that debilitated him for months until his death in Rome in July 1911.

His output for organ consists of about 200 works and includes seven sonatas for organ, twelve volumes of Original Pieces for organ, six volumes for the Divine Office, several volumes of various other compositions, and a Fantasia composed expressly for the inauguration of the organ at St. John Lateran.
