Tomaso Giovanni Albinoni (1671 - 1751)
Biography:
Tomaso Giovanni Albinoni was a Venetian Baroque composer. While famous in his day as an opera composer, he is mainly remembered today for his instrumental music, some of which is regularly recorded. The "Adagio in G minor" attributed to him (actually a later reconstruction) is one of the most frequently recorded pieces of Baroque music.
Born to Antonio Albinoni (1634 - 1709), a wealthy paper merchant in Venice, he studied violin and singing. Relatively little is known about his life, especially considering his contemporary stature as a composer, and the comparatively well-documented period in which he lived. In 1694 he dedicated his Opus 1 to the fellow-Venetian Pietro, Cardinal Ottoboni (grand-nephew of Pope Alexander VIII); Ottoboni was an important patron in Rome of other composers, such as Arcangelo Corelli. Albinoni was possibly employed in 1700 as a violinist to Charles IV, Duke of Mantua, to whom he dedicated his Opus 2 collection of instrumental pieces. In 1701 he wrote his hugely popular suites Opus 3, and dedicated that collection to Grand Duke Ferdinand III of Tuscany.
In 1705 he was married; Antonino Biffi, the maestro di cappella of San Marco was a witness, and evidently was a friend of Albinoni's. Albinoni seems to have no other connection with that primary musical establishment in Venice, however, and achieved his early fame as an opera composer at many cities in Italy, including Venice, Genoa, Bologna, Mantua, Udine, Piacenza, and Naples. During this time he was also composing instrumental music in abundance: prior to 1705, he mostly wrote trio sonatas and violin concertos, but between then and 1719 he wrote solo sonatas and concertos for oboe.
Unlike most composers of his time, he appears never to have sought a post at either a church or court of nobility, but then he was a man of independent means and had the option to compose music independently. In 1722, Maximilian II Emanuel, Elector of Bavaria, to whom Albinoni had dedicated a set of twelve concertos, invited him to direct two of his operas in Munich.
Around 1740 a collection of Albinoni's violin sonatas was published in France as a posthumous work, and scholars long presumed that meant that Albinoni had died by that time. However it appears he lived on in Venice in obscurity; a record from the parish of San Barnaba indicates Tomaso Albinoni died in 1751, "age 84" (presumed to be a mistake), of diabetes.

Once upon a time, not so long ago, there was a lil boy named Willie who lived with his parents 'n his uncle George in a beautiful valley in some very tall mountains . He was so lonely he had no friends at all so he wanted to play with his uncle George however, uncle George was very busy chatting wiff his online virtual friends. He then decided to walk in da woods then he met this beautiful lil purple dragon named Emmy Lou. She batted her big green eyes at him and motioned for him to come play. She had needs too. He was in no position to turn such a stunning dragon down so he agreed. It was a hot steamy night in the town square for sure. Imagine what that was like. They got a hotel room. I think it was a full moon that night. The sky was bright. He howled and the dragon squealed. With one sweep of her tail she moved the bed out of the way to make room. They had the time of their life. Willie spent three days in that room with Emmy Lou having his way with her and her with him. After they went their separate ways and time had passed by they met again. Emmy Lou had to tell Willie about their dragboy Ivan. He was just the cutest but wierd all the same. Emmy Lou wanted Willie to come to the mountains and live but he wasn't able to. Well anyway that is how the dragboy came to be
