Author : Giovanni Battista Viotti
Description
Giovanni Battista Viotti was a fascinating musical figure who bridged the 18th and 19th centuries. Trained in the Corelli violin tradition, his eventful career linked the virtuosic music of the past to the bourgeois concert culture emerging in Paris and London. Viotti's 29 violin concertos stand at the heart of his oeuvre, with No. 22 being the most popular.
