Lorenzo Balbi
Lorenzo Balbi (* around 1680; † around 1740) was an Italian cellist and composer of the Baroque.
Lorenzo Balbi, who referred to himself as "Nobibili huomo dillettanti di violoncelli", is mentioned in the music lexica by Ernst Ludwig Gerber (1812), François-Joseph Fétis (1861) and Robert Eitner (1900) as a noble Italian whose three sonata collections were published in the period from 1706 to 1707 by the publisher Estienne Roger in Amsterdam and were mentioned in his catalog.
Works
- Op. 1: six sonata da camera for violin, cello and basso continuo
- Op. 2: six sonata a violino solo e continuo
- Op. 3: six sonata a due violini, violoncello e continuo
Robert Eitner assumed that eight other trio sonatas , marked only with Balbi, in the library of the Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde in Vienna , also came from his pen.
