Ajoutée par magataganm, 29 Jun 2020 Andrea Grossi (c.1660, c.1696) was an Italian violinist and composer. Little is known about the composer Grossi and the only references are from four surviving prints with violin music and the traditions of Fétis and Eitner. From these only surviving sources it can be seen that at least at the end of the 17th century was a violinist in the service of the last Duke of Mantua , Carlo IV. Since the surviving works all originated in Bologna between 1678 and 1696 or at least appeared in print, it can be assumed that Grossi went to Bologna in the 1670s and came into contact with the Bolognese school . It is only natural that this was done at the suggestion of the founder of that school; because Maurizio Cazzati laid in 1671 from his position of Kapellmeister at the Basilica of San Petronio in Bologna down and was followed two years later, the call of the Archduchess Maria Anna of Austria (1610 to 1665) as conductor at the court of the Duke of Mantua.

Although originally composed for Violin & Keyboard, I created this interpretation of the Sonata (Op 3 No 12) for Woodwind Quartet (Flute, Oboe, Bb Clarinet & Bassoon). |
