Italian composer. Although a popular composer whose works were performed
throughout Europe, virtually nothing is known about his life, save that
he worked alongside Giovanni Battista Sammartini in Milan around 1734.
His name suggests that he may have come from Briosco. He is identified
as a Milanese composer on some symphony manuscripts, and should be
considered representative of the Milanese symphonic school. Ten
symphonies are ascribed to both Brioschi and Sammartini, and Brioschi
evidently knew Sammartini’s music. He was a popular and prolific early
symphonist. Of the extant symphonies attributed to him, the authorship
of at least 51 appears to be certain; 22 of these can be dated to about
1741 or earlier, and three are among the earliest of all known dated
symphonies. These three works have connections with Casale Monferrato,
south-west of Milan. His music was especially popular in Paris, Prague,
Stockholm and Darmstadt. 29 works are listed in the Breitkopf catalogues
of 1762, 1763 and 1766.
