Bio

Baldassare Galuppi (1706–1785) was a prominent Italian composer of the late Baroque and early Classical eras, best known for his operas and keyboard works. Born in Venice, he studied under Antonio Lotti and quickly gained recognition for his dramatic compositions, becoming one of the leading opera composers of his time. Galuppi served as maestro di cappella at several important Venetian institutions, including St. Mark's Basilica, and spent several years in London and Saint Petersburg, where he influenced the development of opera seria. His keyboard sonatas remain popular today for their elegance and technical brilliance, bridging the Baroque and Classical styles.
