Live and act
Pasquale Bini, also known under the pseudonym Pasqualino , was under the protection of Cardinal Fabio Olivieri from the age of 15 , who enabled the young Bini to study with Giuseppe Tartini from 1731 to 1735 . Then Bini entered the service of the cardinal and moved to Rome, where in 1738 a joint appearance with Giovanni Battista Bononcini became known. After the cardinal's death, Bini returned to Padua in 1738 to learn his new cantable style from Tartini. After that he was a musician at the court of Cardinal Troiano Acquaviva d'Aragona (1695-1747) until 1747 . From 1747 to 1753 he worked in his hometown of Pesaro, where he directed an opera performance during the carnival season in 1753. From March 1, 1754, Bini had a job with a salary of 400 ducats, as " Direttore dei concerti e compositore di camera ", with Duke Carl Eugen von Württemberg in Stuttgart. Bini gave up this position in 1759 to finally return to his hometown.
In the style of his compositions, Bini adheres to the cantable model of his teacher Tartini. Charles de Brosses called him " le Guignon d'Italie " ( Jean-Pierre Guignon ) because of the mastery of his instrument in the fast movements . François-Joseph Fétis spread a rumor that the great violinist Antonio Montanari had died of grief after hearing Bini's virtuoso playing.
