Clement Barone
Clement Barone (1876–1934) was born in Italy and
brought to the USA as a child. He played in the
Philadelphia Orchestra, first as piccolo player and
later as first flute. Barone made dozens of recordings
for the Victor Talking Machine Company (later RCA
Victor), as soloist and playing obbligato parts for
well-known singers, including Amelita Galli-Curci
and Lily Pons.
Barone’s son, also called Clement, was the piccolo
player in the Houston Symphony Orchestra and later
the Detroit Symphony Orchestra.
