Giuseppe Jacchini

Education

There he studied composition with Giacomo Antonio Perti and Domenico Gabrielli.

Career

Jacchini received his musical training as a choirboy in the San Petronio Basilica in Bologna. Later Jacchini became a cellist in the "cappella musicale" of the San Petronio Basilica. He is possibly the "Giosefo del Violonzino" referred to in the period from 1680 to 1688.

He composed mainly instrumental music with cello, violin, and keyboard continuo.

He dedicated his opus 4 to Bolognese Count and composer Pirro Albergati, who had campaigned for Jacchini"s permanent position in the orchestra of the cathedral of Bologna. He also served as conductor of the "Collegio dei Nobili" and the church of South. Luigi.

His cello works helped to strengthen the position of the cello as a solo instrument. As an excellent companion he played frequently at the theater in the city.

His trumpet concertos prepared for celebrations at the San Petronio Basilica are in the tradition of the works of his teacher Perti, Giuseppe Torelli and Petronio Franceschini.
