Corelli
Arcangelo Corelli (1653–1713) spent most of his career in Rome under the patronage of Cardinal Pietro Ottoboni, publishing just six carefully polished sets of works in his lifetime. His Op. 5 violin sonatas (1700) were reprinted across Europe more than forty times in the following decades and became the foundation on which violin technique was built; virtually every major violin treatise of the eighteenth century references them. His twelve Concerti Grossi, Op. 6, published posthumously in 1714, include the Christmas Concerto, still among the most performed Baroque works in the string orchestra repertoire. He also left behind an art collection of considerable value, accumulated over a prosperous Roman career.
