Arcangelo CORELLI (1653-1713)
Arcangelo CORELLI was born at Fusignano, Romagna, in the current-day province of Ravenna. His first major success was gained in Paris at the age of nineteen, and to this he owed his European reputation.The style of execution introduced by CORELLI and preserved by his pupils, such as Francesco Geminiani, Pietro Locatelli, and many others, was of vital importance for the development of violin playing. It has been said that the paths of all of the famous violinist-composers of 18th-century Italy lead to Arcangelo CORELLI who was their "iconic point of reference." (Toussaint Loviko, in the program notes to Italian Violin Concertos, Veritas, 2003)
His compositions for the violin mark an epoch in the history of chamber music. His influence was not confined to his own country. Johann Sebastian BACH studied the works of CORELLI and based an organ fugue (BWV 579) on CORELLIs Opus 3 of 1689.
His compositions are distinguished by a beautiful flow of melody and by a mannerly treatment of the accompanying parts, which he is justly said to have liberated from the strict rules of counterpoint.
