Paesaggi toscani (Tuscan Landscapes) is a rhapsody for orchestra composed in 1922 by Vincenzo Tommasini; it was introduced in Rome in December 1923. The piece is based on Tuscan folk melodies and is played in two uninterrupted sections. The first marked Andante sostenuto presents a melancholy melody against a somewhat nebulous harmonic backdrop; the second movement marked Vivace changes the mood of the piece with two lively tunes.
