TOMASO (TOMMASO) GIOVANNI ALBINONI

8th or 14th June 1671 --- 17thJanuary 1750 or 1751

Tomaso Giovanni Albinoni(born 1671, Venice [Italy]--died, 1750/51, Venice), Italian composer
remembered chiefly for his instrumental music. The son of a wealthy paper merchant, Albinoni
enjoyed independent means. Although  he was  a fully trained musician, he considered himself
an amateur. Little is known of  his life, except for the production of more than 50 of  his operas
chiefly at Venice between 1694 and 1741.

Albinoni  also published  nine sets of instrumental works, which  achieved wide  popularity in his
own day and are still appreciated today. (Johann Sebastian Bach based four of his own keyboard
fugues  on  themes  composed  by  Albinoni.)  Especially  notable  are  the Sinfonie e Concerti a 5
(Opus 2, 1707), the concerti for solo violin (Opus 5, 1710), and the concerti for one or two oboes
in Opus 7 and Opus 9. These works are distinguished by their urbanity and charm.
