Giovanni Antonio Guido
Giovanni Antonio Guido (* around 1675 in Genoa ; † after September 17, 1729) was an Italian violinist and Baroque composer .
Life
Little is known about his résumé. Giovanni Antonio Guido received lessons from 1683 in Naples at the Conservatory S. Maria della Pietà dei Turchini under Nicola Vinciprova († 1694), with whom he studied for seven years. He then worked as a copyist for the conservatory. From 1698 to the end of 1701 he was a member of the royal chapel. Giuseppe Avitrano received Guido's vacancy in January 1702. From 1702 until at least 1728, Guido worked alongside Jean-Baptiste Anet as violinist and maître de musique in the service of Duke Philippe II of Orléans and then with his son Louis I de Bourbon, duc d'Orléans in Paris.
His best-known traditional work is the “Scherzi armonici sopra le quattro staggioni dell'anno” op. 3, an imitation of the Four Seasons by Antonio Vivaldi .
