Listen free: No available --- Andrea (Teodoro) Zani [Zanni] (Casalmaggiore, 11 November 1696 - Casalmaggiore, 28 September 1757) Italian violinist and composer. Born in the center of the Italian violin makers at Cremona, he received his earliest training on the violin from his father and, subsequently, from Giacomo Civeri and Carlo Ricci. An invitation from Antonio Caldara, who had met him while passing through Casalmaggiore, took him to Vienna, where he became a well-known virtuoso and teacher without, however, obtaining an official position in the service of the imperial court. In 1736, however, he returned to Casalmaggiore on the death of his mentor, remaining there as a performer and teacher. He died in a carriage accident on the way to Mantua. His works are mostly in the style of Antonio Vivaldi, including the 12 violin concertos and the 18 trio sonatas (six of which were published in 1727). His set of six symphonies published in 1729, however, reflect the styles and structures of Milanese works by Antonio Brioschi and Giovanni Battista Sammartini.
