Giuseppe Cambini (Paperback)

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Giuseppe Maria Gioacchino Cambini (Livorno, February 13?, 1746 - Paris ? 1825?) was an Italian composer and violinist. Born in Livorno, it is likely that Cambini studied violin with Filippo Manfredi; the only evidence for this is however Cambini's own unreliable account, which also claims inaccurately that he worked with Luigi Boccherini and Pietro Nardini, and was a friend of Joseph Haydn. Another legend about Cambini, circulated by Fran ois-Joseph F tis, claimed that Cambini and his fianc e had been kidnapped by Barbary pirates and ransomed by a music-lover.
