GAETANO PUGNANI
Gaetano Pugnani (27 November 1731 15 July 1798, Gaetano Pugnani was born in Turin, He trained on the violin under Giovanni Battista Somis and Giuseppe Tartini. In 1752, Pugnani became the first violinist of the Royal Chapel in Turin. Then he went on a large tour that granted him great fame for his extraordinary skill on the violin. In 1754, he was very well-received at the Concert Spiritual in Paris, but in 1768 he had an even more successful musical encounter in London, directing the King's Theatre from 1767 to 1769.

In 1770, Pugnani returned home to Turin and became the director of the Royal Chapel. His fame as a composer began to grow, but it would never equal his fame as a violinist. During this time, he also taught the violin. His most famous pupil was Giovanni Battista Viotti; from 1780 to 1782 they performed in Switzerland, Dresden, Warsaw and St. Petersburg. Pugnani died in Turin.

FRITZ KREISLER BORROWED (??) PUGNANI
Fritz Kreisler said that he borrowed Pugnani's name in order to publish some of his pieces (such as Praeludium and Allegro and Tempo di Minuetto), but in 1935 Kreisler revealed that these works were actually his own (???????)
However the Praeludium and Allegro is one of the most famous pieces for violin

@Itachi1846 : ho a casa delle registrazioni MERAVIGLIOSE molto rare in cui UGHI e ACCARDO duettano suonando diversi concerti per due violini solisti e orchestra di BACH e VIVALDI ; purtroppo però non so bene come fare a metterle su " YouTube." Le dico soltanto questo, per me questi due signori, anzi, scusi, queste due MERAVIGLIE del violino non hanno NULLA da invidiare a NESSUNO. Tanti carissimi saluti, le auguro una prestigiosa carriera concertistica nei massimi teatri mondiali !

@Itachi1846 : capisco la sua competenza raffinata in materia e rispetto la sua opinione, ma io ricordo benissimo come suonava UTO UGHI nel suo periodo d'oro ( e cioè fino a pochissimi anni fa ) e come suonava invece Perlman. E' ovvio che Perlman si può autenticamente SOGNARE la cavata, il vigore, lo stile, il gusto e il suono MERAVIGLIOSO di UGHI. Le dico soltanto questo : ho sentito U. UGHI nel 2003 accanto ai " Solisti Veneti " ; bene, UGHI si è SBRANATO da solo l'intera orchestra. Saluti.
