Biography

[edit]

Ercole Gaibara was active in Bologna during the first half of the 17th century. There is very little information about his life except that he was a very renowned violinist, earning the nickname "del Violino" by his students.[2] He succeeded Alfonso Pagani as the violinist of the Concerto Palatino.[3]

The musicologist Marc Pincherle considers him the founder of the École Bolonaise de violon (Bolognese School of Violin)[4] where he taught Arcangelo Corelli, Giuseppe Torelli, Giovanni Benvenuti [it],Bartolomeo Laurenti [de] and Leonardo Brugnoli.[2][5][6] He may have also taught Alessandro Stradella.[7]
