Subject: [kl] question on 1700's Italian composer

Does any Italian member (or any nationality) of this list have any
information on this composer ?

Carlo Tessarini (1690 – after 15 December 1766), was an Italian
composer and violinist in the late Baroque era.
Tessarini was born 1690 in Rimini and died in Amsterdam, Netherlands
aged 76

I performed a "Presto" by him this past week (unknown source) and the
music was WONDERFUL !

Any assistance would be much appreciated.
