Italian violinist and composer. He was a follower, if not actually a
pupil, of Arcangello Corelli. By 1720 he was a violinist at San Marco in
Venice, and from 1729 was concertmaster of the concerts of the
Conservatory S. Giovanni e Paolo. He also was active at the chapel of
Urbino Cathedral (from c. 1733). After a sojourn at the court of
Cardinal Wolfgang Schrattenbach in Brunn (c.1735-38), he was again
active at Urbino Cathedral until 1744. He also made tours as a concert
artist in 1739 and appeared in the Netherlands in 1747. He was once more
active at Urbino Cathedral (1750-57) although he continued to pursue
his concert career; subsequently settled in Holland. The last
information on Tessarini is a reference to a concert he gave at the
Collegium musicum in Arnheim on 15 December 1766; after this all trace
of him disappears. As a composer, his violin sonatas, generally in 3
movements, contributed to the establishment of a three-movement sonata
as a norm. He published many trio sonatas, duets, concertinos, overtures
and concerti grossi, as well as the interesting treatise, 'Gramatica di
musica: insegna il modo facile e breve perbene imparare di sanae il
violino su la parte' (1741).
