Full biography Giuseppe Sammartini
Giuseppe Sammartini was an Italian Baroque composer and oboist, born in 1695 in Milan, Italy. He was one of the prominent composers of his time, and he is particularly recognized for his significant contribution to the development of the oboe concerto and sonata. He was the brother of another renowned Italian composer, Giovanni Battista Sammartini. Giuseppe Sammartini started his career as an oboe player, and he became prominent in Italy before moving to the UK in the 1710s.
In England, Giuseppe Sammartini achieved significant success and recognition as a composer, and he was one of the first composers to introduce the keyboard sonata in England, which quickly became popular. His works are often characterized by their technical virtuosity, with complex runs and ornamentations typical of the Baroque period.
Giuseppe Sammartini's compositions were well-regarded during his lifetime, and his music was performed regularly in England during the 18th century. He wrote a significant number of works, including concertos, sonatas, oratorios, and operas, many of which are still performed today. His most notable works include the Concerto for Oboe and Strings in D Major, Recorder Concerto in F Major, and Sonata in G Major for Flute and Continuo.
Giuseppe Sammartini was a prolific composer who produced a large body of work over his lifetime. He was a highly influential figure in Baroque music, and his works helped pave the way for the Classical period. His influence can be heard in the works of many later composers, including Mozart, who studied his music as a young musician.
