Gian Paolo Chiti (born 21 January 1939) is an Italian composer and pianist.
Gian Paolo Chiti began his music studies at four years old, focusing on piano, violin, and composition. From the age of 10, he studied with Armando Renzi before entering the Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia in Rome. [1] His teachers included Carlo Zecchi, Arturo Bonucci, and Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli. Chiti won prizes in competitions such as the Treviso and the Ferruccio Busoni International Piano Competition in 1960. [2]
Chiti has had a dual career as both a composer and a concert pianist. He often performed alongside his late wife, mezzo-soprano Patricia Adkins Chiti, who was the founder of the Adkins-Chiti Women in Music Foundation. He composed works for film and television as well as concerts and festivals in Italy and abroad. His compositions have featured at the Maggio Musicale Fiorentino, the Venice Biennale, the Edinburgh International Festival, and the Lutosławski Festival. [2]
Since 1984, Chiti has served as the Director of the Composition Department at the Conservatorio of Santa Cecilia in Rome. He is also a member of the Italian National Committee for Dance and serves on the faculty boards of several universities. [2]

In music, a duodecet—sometimes duodectet, or duodecimette—is a composition which requires twelve musicians for a performance, or a musical group that consists of twelve people. In jazz, such a group of twelve players is sometimes called a "twelvetet". The corresponding German word is Duodezett. The French equivalent form, douzetuor, is virtually unknown. Unlike some other musical ensembles such as the string quartet, there is no established or standard set of instruments in a duodecet.
