History
Tomaso Giovanni Albinoni was born on June 8, 1671, in Venice, Republic of Venice.
He was an Italian composer of the Baroque era. His output includes operas, concertos, sonatas for one to six instruments, sinfonias, and solo cantatas. While famous in his day as an opera composer, he is known today for his instrumental music, especially his concertos. He is best remembered today for a work called "Adagio in G minor," attributed to him but largely written by Remo Giazotto, a 20th-century musicologist and composer who was a cataloguer of the works of Albinoni.
He died on January 17, 1751, in Venice, Republic of Venice.
