Manuscripts of the Neapolitan school in first edition
Little is known about Gennaro Rava (Naples, 19th century). Presumably the date of death should be 1779. We certainly know that he was a talented flutist and oboist equally active in the main groups of the Kingdom (in the second half of the eighteenth century he was among the oboists of the Real Teatro di San Carlo Orchestra). He was also the author of music for dances etc.
