Biographical note:
Tomaso Albinoni, oldest son of a wealthy paper
merchant, was born in Venice in 1671. At an early age
he became proficient as a singer and, more notably, as a
violinist, soon turning his hand to composition. Until his
father's death in 1709, he was able to cultivate music
more for pleasure than for profit, referring to himself as
“dilettante”, - a term which in 18th century Italy was
totally devoid of unfavorable connotations. Under the
terms of his father's will he was relieved of the duty
(which he would normally have assumed as oldest son)
to take charge of the family business, and this task
devolved on to his younger brothers. Henceforth he was
to be a full-time musician, who according to one report,
at one time ran a successful academy of singing. He
resided in Venice all his life, though visits to Florence
(1703) and Munich (1722) are recorded. After a long
period of inactivity he died in 1751.
In his youth Albinoni flirted unsuccessfully with the
composition of church music. He first came to public
notice as a composer when, in 1694, his first opera,
“Zenobia, regina de Palmireni”, was produced in Venice
and his first collection of instrumental music (“Sonata a
tre, op.1”) appeared. Thereafter he divided his attention
almost equally between vocal composition (operas,
serenatas and cantatas) and instrumental composition
(sonatas and concertos). His vocal music circulated only
in manuscript, apart from twelve cantatas published in
1702 as his op.4 and one cantata that appeared
elsewhere, and was comparatively little known outside
Italy. His instrumental music (108 works published as
op. 1-3 and 5-10, plus 17 works published in
unauthorized; collections and about 50 authenticated
works remaining in manuscript) enjoyed a vogue in
northern Europe, particularly through the activity of
publishing houses in Amsterdam and London.
The Albinoni´s Adagio
This peace is based on a fragment of manuscript
discovered in the Dresden State Library after the Second
World War by Remo Giazotto, a Milanese musicologist
who was at that time completing his biography of
Albinoni and his listing of Albinoni's music. Only the
bass line and six bars of melody had survived, possibly
from the slow movement of a Trio Sonata. Giazotto
"reconstructed" the now-famous Adagio in about 1945,
based on the surviving fragment.
