Antonio Lolli
Antonio Lolli (* between 1723 and 1724 in Bergamo ; † August 10, 1802 in Palermo ) was an Italian violinist and composer in the transition from the late baroque to the classical period .
Life
Lolli was one of the most famous violinists of the 18th century, like Joseph Bologne, Chevalier de Saint-Georges , for whom he wrote works in 1764 and 1768 when Lolli was in Paris. He was a violin soloist in the court orchestra in Stuttgart from 1758 to 1774 and obviously traveled a lot. Tsarina Catherine II hired him as a chamber violinist (1774 to 1783) in Saint Petersburg , a position he gave up because of the climatic conditions he had expressed to Dittersdorf . He then gave concerts in Warsaw, Szczecin, Berlin, Vienna, Rome, Amsterdam, Utrecht and Scandinavia. In 1794 he became Kapellmeister in the royal court orchestra in Naples .
His son Filippo Lolli (* 1773 in Stuttgart , date of death not known) became known as a cellist .
Works
He published nine violin concertos , of which Concerto No. 7 in G major, which he performed in Paris in 1775 with the Concert Spirituel , had the greatest success.
