About Andrea Grossi
Andrea Grossi (c. 1660; † after 1696) was an Italian violinist and composer. About the composer Grossi is little known, and refers only to the four traditional printing with violin music and the traditions of Fetis and Eitner. From these only surviving sources indicate that he at least late 17th des Century. as a violinist in the service of the last Duke of Mantua, Carlo IV, stood. As the surviving works are all written in Bologna in the period from 1678 to 1696, or at least appeared in print, it can be assumed that Grossi in the 1670s went to Bologna and came into contact with the Bolognese school. Is close at hand, that this was at the suggestion of the founder of that school, because Maurizio Cazzati 1671 laid down his office of Kapellmeister at the Basilica of San Petronio in Bologna, and was followed two years later, the reputation of the Archduchess Maria Anna of Austria (1610-1665) as Kapellmeister at the court of the Duke of Mantua.
