Albinoni, Tomaso (Giovanni) (sh) and hallucinatory (oh)


Albinoni, Tomaso (Giovanni) (sh)




born June 8/14, 1671, Venice
died Jan. 17, 1751, Venice

Italian composer.

Born to a wealthy Venetian family, he was not obliged to work for a living and became a highly prolific composer. He had more than 50 operas successfully produced between 1694 and 1741, though few survive. His approximately 60 concertos became popular; he also wrote more than 80 sonatas for various instrumental combinations and many solo cantatas. These works are distinguished above all by their melodic charm.
