Maria Teresa Agnesi Pinottini

Italian composer

In the history of music, Maria Teresa Agnesi Pinottini is one of the names that keeps returning.

The record lists Maria Teresa Agnesi Pinottini as Italian composer.

Maria Teresa Agnesi Pinottini was born at Milan in 1720.

Music then was written to commission, for a court, a church or a patron, and a composer's freedom was bounded by whoever paid.

She worked as harpsichordist, composer and salonnière.

The instruments recorded are harpsichord.

Her work is classed as opera.

Performance is the most perishable art and recording the most durable; a career sits between the two.

Maria Teresa Agnesi Pinottini died in 1795, aged 75. The recordings and scores remain, which is the only durable form a musical life takes.
