THE VI OLIN IN ITALY.
From Carlo Tessarini, of Rome, born about
1690, we appear to have had a work on the art of
modulating in the form of Concertos, with accompaniments,
Op. 6, and "A Musical Grammar,"

Raimondi, a pupil of Barbella, published at
Amsterdam three Concertos, six String Quartetts,
and three String Trios.
Giornovichi, better known as J arnowick, pupil

and accept a position in the Royal Orchestra at
Potsdam ; he was at a later period in England for
some time. He published in Paris a few Sonatas,
Duetts, Concertos, and Quartetts.
Lucchesi, a pupil of Nardini, published some
Duetts for two Violins, Op. I, which passed through
