Born on (8 June 1671 – 17 January 1751).

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 cataloger of the

Tomaso Giovanni Albinoni 

Unlike most contemporary composers,

he appears never to have sought a post
at either a church or noble court, but
then he had independent means and
could afford to compose music
independently His nine collections
published in Italy, Amsterdam, and
London were either dedicated to or
sponsored by an impressive list of
southern European nobility

Baroque music refers to the period or dominant style of Western
classical music composed from about 1600 to 1750.[1] The Baroque style
followed the Renaissance period, and was followed in turn by
the Classical period after a short transition, the galant style. The Baroque
period is divided into three major phases: early, middle, and late.
Overlapping in time, they are conventionally dated from 1580 to 1650,
from 1630 to 1700, and from 1680 to 1750. Baroque music forms a
major portion of the "classical music" canon, and is now widely studied,
performed, and listened to. The term "baroque" comes from the
Portuguese word barroco, meaning "misshapen pearl"

During the period composers experimented with finding a fuller sound

for each instrumental part (thus creating the orchestra), made changes in
musical notation (the development of figured bass as a quick way to
notate the chord progression of a song or piece), and developed new
instrumental playing techniques.
