About this item
Locatelli's most significant publication is probably L'Arte del Violino, opus
3. Printed in Amsterdam in 1733, this was one of the most influential
musical publications of the early eighteenth century. It is a collection
of twelve concertos for solo violin, strings and basso continuo, with a
'capriccio' for unaccompanied violin inserted into the first and last
movements of each concerto as a sort of cadenza.
One can see the
24 Capricci from his "L'Arte del violino" op. 3 as an indirect precursor
of the 24 Capricci op. 1 of Niccolò Paganini. Today the Fondazione
Pietro Antonio Locatelli, who is based in Cremona, deals with the legacy
of this Italian violin virtuoso.

Composer
Pietro Antonio Locatelli (1695-1764)
Pietro Antonio Locatelli (Bergamo, September 3, 1695 - Amsterdam, March 30, 1764) was an Italian composer and violinist of the Baroque period.
He studied in Rome with Giuseppe Valentini (1681-1747). After several concert tours through France and Germany Locatelli settled in 1729 in Amsterdam, where he gave violin lessons, Italian strings sold and worked as a music publisher. He led a Collegium Musicum, which consisted of affluent music lovers and for whom he also composed.
Locatelli was a virtuoso violinist and his compositions are therefore mainly works for that instrument.
His most significant publication is probably L'arte del violino, opus 3. Printed in Amsterdam in 1733, this was one of the most influential musical publications of the early eighteenth century.[1] It is a collection of twelve concertos for solo violin, strings and basso continuo, with a 'capriccio' for unaccompanied violin inserted into the first and last movements of each concerto as a sort of cadenza.
He also wrote violin sonatas, concerti grossi and a bundle for flute sonatas (Op. 2). Locatelli expanded the occupation of the Concerto Grosso of a trio, consisting of two violins and a cello, a quartet. The quartet consists of two violins, a viola and a cello.
His early works show influences of Arcangelo Corelli, of whom he was a student, his later style is more similar to that of Antonio Vivaldi. He was a contemporary of Jean-Marie Leclair, with whom he played together including in London and at the court of Kassel, and to whom he also gave violin lessons during a stay of Leclair in Holland in 1738-1743. According to tradition Leclair played "like an angel" and Locatelli "as a devil."
One can see the 24 Capricci from his "L'Arte del violino" on. 3 as an indirect precursor of the 24 Capricci on. 1 of Niccolò Paganini consider. Today holds the Fondazione Pietro Antonio Locatelli, who is based in Cremona, deals with the legacy of this Italian violin virtuoso.
