Bartolomeo Campagnoli, born in 1751, was one of the most important violinist-composers of his generation, falling between Giovanni Battista Viotti and Niccolò Paganini.
Composer Biography
Campagnoli studied violin with Giuseppe Tartini and Pietro Nardini, two of the most famous Italian violinists of the 18th century.
Composer's Artistic Vision
Campagnoli's musical language was characterized by a blend of 'Italian soul' and 'German knowledge,' meaning Italian melodic inflection combined with the structural robustness of Viennese classical composers like Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoven.
