John Ravenscroft
Edit ProfileCareer
He was possibly a pupil of Arcangelo Corelli, by whom he was strongly influenced, and around the middle of the 18th century some of Ravenscroft"s trio sonatas were misattributed to Corelli. He is not to be confused with the English wait John Ravenscroft (fl c 1730). He moved to Rome, where in 1695 he published his Opus 1 under the name "Giovanni Ravenscroft, alias Rederi, Inglese".
He died in Rome on 12 October 1697, leaving a collection of 5 violins and 44 paintings.
