Bartolomeo Campagnoli

Campagnoli was a virtuoso violinist who toured Europe propagating the 18th Century Italian violin style.

[3][4] In 1797 he published Metodo per Violino, a treatise on violin playing; it can be regarded as demonstrating the style of a transitional period between the Baroque and Classical era.

[5] He left the court of the Duke of Courland, and in 1797 he was appointed concertmaster of the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra, a post he retained until 1818.

[3][4] In 2022 the Italian violist Marco Misciagna recorded the world premiere of Campagnoli's 41 Caprices op.22 in the version by Karl Albert Tottman.

[7] The Cd Album won two Gold Medals at the Global Music Awards (La Jolla, California).
