Giuseppe Maria Jacchini (1663 - 1727) was an Italian
cellist and composer. Jacchini received his musical
education as a singer at San Petronio in Bologna, where
he was shown in the records from 1677. He learned
composition with Giacomo Antonio Perti and violoncello
with Domenico Gabrielli. In the "capella musicale" by
S. Petronio Jacchini worked as a cellist, possibly he
was the Giosefo del Violonzino mentioned between 1680
and 1688. He mainly composed instrumental music with
cello, which in his time increasingly replaced the viol
as a bass instrument. He dedicated his Opus 4 to the
composing Bolognese count Pirro Albergati, who had
worked for Jacchini's permanent position in the
orchestra of the cathedral.
Jacchini became a member of the prestigious "Accademia
Filarmonica" in 1688 , and after 1716 he also taught as
a maestro of Cello at the "Collegio dei Nobili di S.
Francesco Saverio" and the Collegio S. Luigi. Jacchini
resigned from the chapel of San Petronio on April 30,
1727.
His cello works have helped to solidify the position of
the cello as a solo instrument. Some of his works
contain virtuoso cello passages and are considered the
forerunners of the cello concerto. As an excellent
companion, he often performed at the city's theater.
The music-loving German study traveler from Uffenbach ,
who heard him in Bologna in 1715, was fascinated by his
technique and admired the purity, speed and loveliness
with which he mastered the high registers of his
instrument. The concerts with one or two trumpets
intended for festive occasions at San Petronio are in
the tradition of the works of his teacher Perti, as
well as Giuseppe Torellis and Petronio Franceschini.
