  Domenico Alberti
Alberti was born in Venice and studied music with Antonio Lotti[?].
Today, Alberti is seen as a very minor composer, and none of his works are played or recorded with any regularity, but Alberti bass was used by many later composers, and became an important element in much keyboard music of the Classical music era.
Alberti's best known pieces are his keyboard sonatas, although even they are very rarely performed.

 Leone Battista Alberti - LoveToKnow 1911

Alberti wrote works on sculpture, Della Statua, and on painting, De Pictura, which are highly esteemed; but his most celebrated treatise is that on architecture, De Re Aedificatoria, which has been translated into Italian, French, Spanish and English.

 Domenico Alberti - LoveToKnow 1911
1710-1740), Italian musician, is known in musical history as the writer of dozens of sonatas in which the melody is supported from beginning to end by an extremely familiar formula of arpeggio accompaniment, consequently known as the Alberti bass.
He thus shows how advanced was the decay of polyphonic sensibility (as a negative preparation for the advent of the sonata-style) already during the lifetime of Bach.
His works have no other special qualities, though it is probable that Mozart's first violin sonatas, written at the age of seven, were modelled on Alberti in spite of their superior cleverness.

 Domenico Alberti - Wikipedia, la enciclopedia libre
Domenico Alberti (Venecia, alrededor de 1710 - Roma, 1740) fue un cantante, clavicordista y compositor italiano cuyo trabajo media entre la Música barroca y la Música clásica.
En su propio tiempo, Alberti fue conocido como cantante y frecuentemente se acompañaba a sí mismo con el clavicordio.
Hoy, Alberti es considerado un compositor menor y sus obras son muy raramente ejecutadas pero el bajo de Alberti fue muy usado posteriormente por los compositores para teclado en la era clásica de la música.

 Sunday music: the sonatas of Domenico Paradies Musical Times - Find Articles
The long career of Paradies, born Pietro Domenico Paradisi in Naples in 1707, was marked by a series of failures as an opera composer.
The sheer quantity of these Italian sonatas and the fact that many of them predate the important early German ones has assured their inclusion in studies of the genre, but many of them admittedly seem insubstantial in relation to works like the Prussian sonatas (1742-43) of Carl Phillip Emanuel Bach.
The use of broken-chord figuration in the left hand (including what would come to be the most characteristic of Classic accompaniment patterns, the Alberti bass) highlights the melody, creating the cantabile sound that we most often associate with Mozart.
