a new video on my Youtube channel - music by Antonio Bartolomeo Bruni
Antonio Bartolomeo Bruni (1757- 1821). Italian violinist, composer and conductor, active in France. According to Fétis he studied the violin with Pugnani in Turin and composition with Speziani in Novara. He arrived in Paris in spring 1780, and on 15 May made his début as a violinist at the Concert Spirituel, performing one of his own concertos;. His first published work, a set of six violin duos, appeared in the following year and was soon followed by numerous other instrumental works, mostly for violin, and by the periodical collection Journal de violon (Baillon and Porro), on which Bruni collaborated.
He supported the revolution and during the French 'terror', c.1791, Bruni authored Un Inventaire sous la terreur which lists musical instruments recovered from noble households.
