Giovanni Zamboni
Giovanni Zamboni (* after 1650 in Rome , † in Pisa ) was an Italian composer and lutenist.
Life
Giovanni Zamboni was best known as an instrumentalist, he mastered theorbo , lute , mandola , mandolin and harpsichord , from 1701 to 1713 he worked as a double bass player at the Cathedral of Pisa. He is known as an excellent counterpoint artist. Insofar as there is no confusion, he also practiced the profession of gemstone cutter.
His works reflect precisely these two focal points of his work. The madrigali are written with great contrapuntal skill, the sonata d'intavolatura di leuto , composed for 14-course baroque lutes , demand a high level of virtuosity from the performer.
Four of his works were listed in a catalog by the Viennese copyist and publisher Johann Peter van Ghelen in 1731 , which indicates the popularity of his works outside of Italy.
