Models of Performances of Travelling Virtuosi in the Period of Classicism - Giornovichi in Stockholm

Abstract

Giovanni Giornovichi/Ivan Jarnović (1747–1804), a famous violin virtuoso, performed in many European towns and aristocratic palaces, playing mostly his own concerti. The author analyses his sojourn in Stockholm in 1803. The models of his performances there have been investigated and related to concert performances which he gave in other European centres.
