Giulio Taglietti

Biography

Giulio Taglietti (Brescia, perhaps 1660 - Brescia, 1718) was an Italian composer and violinist.

Little is known about his youth. From 1702 he became a violin teacher at the Jesuit college of Brescia. Between 1695 and 1715 he published thirteen collections of his compositions, including sonatas , triosonatas , concertos and arias . He introduced, in the field of instrumental music, the form of the "da capo", taking it from the vocal field. In all likelihood he was the brother of the composer and sea ​​trumpet player Luigi Taglietti ( 1668 - 1715 ), of whom some works remain.
