Giuseppe Maria Jacchini

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Giuseppe Maria Jacchini (born July 16, 1663 in Bologna ; † May 2, 1727 there ) was an Italian cellist and composer .

Life

Jacchini received his musical training as a choirboy at San Petronio in Bologna, where he was recorded from 1677. He learned composition with Giacomo Antonio Perti and cello with Domenico Gabrielli , among others . In the "capella musicale" by S. Petronio Jacchini worked as a cellist, possibly he was the Giosefo del Violonzino mentioned between 1680 and 1688 . He mainly composed instrumental music with the violoncello, which in his day more and more replaced the viol as a bass instrument. He dedicated his op. 4 to the composing Bolognese Count Pirro Albergati , who had advocated Jacchini's permanent position in the cathedral orchestra.

Jacchini became a member of the prestigious " Accademia Filarmonica " in 1688 , and after 1716 he taught as maestro di violoncello at the "Collegio dei Nobili di S. Francesco Saverio" and at the Collegio S. Luigi . Jacchini left the chapel of San Petronio on April 30, 1727.

His cello works have helped to consolidate the position of the cello as a solo instrument. Some of his works contain virtuoso cello passages and are considered the forerunners of the cello concerto. As an excellent companion, he often performed at the city's theater. The music-loving German student traveler von Uffenbach , who heard him in Bologna in 1715, was fascinated by his technique and admired the purity, speed and loveliness with which he mastered the high registers of his instrument. The concerts with one or two trumpets intended for special occasions at San Petronio are in the tradition of the works of his teacher Perti, as well as Giuseppe Torellis and Petronio Franceschini .
