Bio
Giuseppe Baldassare Sammartini (1695–1750) was an Italian composer and oboist active in the first half of the eighteenth century. Born in Milan, he spent much of his career in London, where he became a leading figure in the city’s concert life and contributed significantly to the development of the solo concerto and the sonata for woodwind instruments. His works, which include concertos, sonatas, and chamber music, reflect the transition from late Baroque to early Classical style. Sammartini’s compositions for oboe and recorder were especially influential, helping to establish these instruments as solo voices in the emerging galant idiom.
