Giuseppe Tartini (1692 - 1770) was born in Piran, Istria (Slovenia). His later life centered around his adopted town of Padova (Padua), Veneto, Italy. His parents planned for him a church career but he wanted otherwise and studied to be a lawyer. At the same time, he became a skilled fencer and also honed his already formidable musical abilities. Tartini developed into one of the first truly virtuoso violinists, a first-rate composer, and a musical theorists whose work has influenced musicians and composers ever since.
