Both Arcangelo and Johann Sebastian Bach were both major baroque composers. Arcangelo Corelli, an Italian composer, and celebrated violinist, was born in Fusignano, Italy on February 17, 1653. He was the fifth child of prosperous landowners, Arcangelo Correli and Santa Raffini. His father died before he was born. There is not much information about his early life, however, his instrumental works established the chamber music style and form of the late baroque era.
“At the age of 13, Arcangelo Corelli went to Bologna, a distinguished musical center, where he learned music from Leonardo Brugnol. Corelli studied in Bologna until 1670, then in 1671 he left for Rome, where he completed the study of composition under Matteo Simonelli.” (Encyclopedia
