Tomaso Albinoni: his life in Venice, oboe concertos. (720 words)
Tomaso Giovanni Albinoni was born in Venice in 1671, eldest son of a wealthy paper merchant.
At an early age he became proficient as a singer and, more notably, as a violinist, though not being a member of the performers' guild he was unable to play publicly so he turned his hand to composition.
Until his father's death in 1709, he was able to cultivate music more for pleasure than for profit, referring to himself as "Dilettante Veneto" - a term which in 18th century Italy was totally devoid of unfavorable connotations.
