Giovanni Schiavonetti

Giovanni Schiavonetti (also: Giovanni Chiavonetti ; * in the 17th or 18th century; † March 19, 1730 in Hanover ) was a court and chamber musician as well as a Venetian cellist , conductor , oboist and harpsichordist .

Life

Giovanni Chiavonetti was a court musician from Venice . From 1708 to 1713 he worked as an instrumentalist in London .

He was married to Elisabeth Pilotta and Elisabetta Pilotti-Schiavonetti , an Italian soprano who from 1710 had numerous appearances at the court in London , especially under George Frideric Handel . When she sang Pyramus and Thisbe in the comic opera of the same name in Stuttgart in 1726 , it was her husband who conducted the work.

In 1728 Giovanni Chiavonetti began his service at the court orchestra in Hanover, which at the time consisted of 20 musicians. Due to the personal union between Great Britain and Hanover under King George II. August (English: George Augustus ), the electoral Hanoverian and Royal Great Britain and Irish court orchestra in Hanover was without a sovereign on site, but worked for the court that remained in Hanover .

Chiavonetti died in Hanover in 1730, only about two years after taking up his post there. Also in 1730 Elisabeth Pilotta was employed as a royal singer at the court in Hanover, where she remained until the end of her life in 1742.
