 Henri Crolla (1879-1963) was an Italian composer and conductor of classical music. He was born in Milan and studied at the Milan Conservatory under the guidance of Riccardo Rescali, who was one of the most important teachers of his time.

Crolla's career as a composer began with the composition of ballet music, operas, and orchestral works. His style can be described as Romantic with elements of Neoclassicism, reflecting the influence of composers such as Mozart, Haydn, and Beethoven. However, Crolla's music also has a unique charm that sets it apart from other composers of his time.

One of Crolla's most famous works is the ballet "La Corte de Flanders," which was premiered in 1925 and became an instant success. The piece features a score that combines elements of French and Flemish folk music with modernist influences, creating a unique sound that has been celebrated for its originality and beauty.

Crolla was also an accomplished conductor, serving as the principal conductor of the Milan Scala from 1937 to 1954. He led performances of many of his own works, as well as those of other composers such as Verdi, Wagner, and Mahler.

Throughout his career, Henri Crolla was highly regarded for his musical talent, creativity, and dedication to the art of music. His contributions to classical music have left a lasting legacy, and his work continues to be enjoyed by audiences around the world.
