Croatian composer and violinist. The son of a Venetian nobleman, he
received his education in Padua, where he studied under Giuseppe Tartini
and Antonio Sberti. Sometime between 1758 and 1763 he moved to
Sanguinetto, a town near Verona, where he accepted the position of
vicario. Also there, he wrote his treatise, Trattato di musica, as well
as taught pupils. Due to his family connections, he had little need to
find employment, and thus he could concentrate on his own theories and
musical composition. His works still need a thorough study and include
35 symphonies, 61 violin concertos, 15 violin duos, 170 violin sonatas,
six string quartets, and 50 trios, as well as a number of smaller
chamber works. His finest compositions are his concertos for the violin,
which are strongly influenced by Tartini, and his six string quartets.
His brother Symeon Filippos Stratigos (1733-1824) was a prominent
physician, educator and scientist known to Goldoni and Voltaire.
