In the history of music, Gaetano Pugnani is one of the names that keeps returning.
The record lists Gaetano Pugnani as Italian violinist and composer.
Gaetano Pugnani was born at Turin in 1731.
Music then was written to commission, for a court, a church or a patron, and a composer's freedom was bounded by whoever paid.
He worked as composer, concertmaster and violinist.
The instruments recorded are violin.
His work is classed as opera and symphony.
Performance is the most perishable art and recording the most durable; a career sits between the two.
Gaetano Pugnani died in 1798, aged 67. The recordings and scores remain, which is the only durable form a musical life takes.
