Review
Son of a rich paper maker, composed without dependent on a charge, as «diletting musician». He wrote about fifty operas and abundant instrumental music.
His oboe concerts are among the first of an Italian composer and Bach used his themes in several leaks. The famous «Adagio of Albinoni» is actually the work of the musicologist Remo Gilaulto (1958).
Main works
