Tomaso Albinoni, Italian violinist and composer (d. 1751)
Tomaso Giovanni Albinoni (8 June 1671 – 17 January 1751) was a Venetian Baroque composer. 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 said to be written by Remo Giazotto, a 20th century musicologist and composer, who was a cataloger of the works of Albinoni.
