About Girolamo Frescobaldi

Girolamo Alessandro Frescobaldi, born in the Duchy of Ferrara in 1583, was a virtuoso keyboard player and one of the most influential composers of the late Renaissance and early Baroque periods. A child prodigy, Frescobaldi studied under the renowned Luzzasco Luzzaschi and was inspired by several notable composers of his time. His career reached great heights when he was appointed as the organist of St. Peter's Basilica in Rome, a position he held intermittently from 1608 until his death in 1643. Frescobaldi's compositions for harpsichord and organ are celebrated for their technical brilliance and emotional depth, making him a pivotal figure in the development of keyboard music. His work not only defined the Italian Baroque style but also had a profound impact on the German Baroque school, solidifying his legacy as one of the first great masters of organ composition.
