Alessandro Rolla

Alessandro Rolla (April 22, 1757 - September 15, 1841) is one of those examples of a today neglected musician who nevertheless was widely acknowledged in his time as a violin and, especially, viola virtuoso, composer and teacher and whose contribution to technique, repertoire and history of music is greatly underestimated.
