Antonio Scontrino (17 May 1850, Trapani – 7 January 1922, Florence) was an Italian composer.
Scontrino studied at the Palermo Conservatory from 1861 and 1870 and later in Munich. He began performing as a double bassist in 1891. In 1898, he became a professor of composition at the Palermo Conservatory and also taught in Florence afterwards. (Indeed, there are references to him as a teacher of counterpoint at the Florence Conservatory somewhat earlier, in 1897.)[1]
He composed five operas (from 1879 to 1896)[2], several large orchestral works (including symphonies), one concerto each for double bass, bassoon, and piano, four string quartets and a prelude and fugue for quartet, incidental music, pieces for piano, choral music, and lieder.
The Conservatorio di Musica "Antonio Scontrino" in Trapani is named in his memory.
