One of the leading Italian virtuoso violinist-composers of his time.
Born in Lucca, he studied under the Italian violinist-composer
Arcangelo Corelli and in 1714 settled in England, establishing a career
as a brilliant performer. Of his compositions the best known are his
concerti grossi, opus 2 and 3. Through his teaching he transmitted the
technique and style of Corelli to later generations. The Art of Playing
on the Violin, an invaluable 18th-century treatise on violin playing,
was for many years misattributed to Geminiani.
