Carlo Ambrogio Lonati

This book explores the fascinating story of Carlo Ambrogio Lonati (c.1645–post1701), a forgotten master of the Seicento, and covers his journey across major Italian and European courts as well as his rich but largely neglected compositional output. In so doing, it allows a figure who was successful in his own lifetime but who quickly fell into oblivion to reclaim his rightful place in the history of Western music.
