The former, of which the three published volumes relate wholly to ancient music, and thus represent a mere fragment of the author's vast plan, exhibits immense reading and industry, but is written in a dry and unattractive style, and is overloaded with matter which cannot be regarded as historical.

 Martini, Giovanni Battista
Giovanni Battista Martini, also known as Padre Martini (April 24, 1706 – August 3, 1784) was an Italian musician, composer, and music theorist who, through his compositions and treatises, demonstrated the principles of a meaningful musical life and an understanding of philosophy and the classics.
Of great value to musicologists are Martini's "Storia della musica," a treatise on ancient music, the "Saggio del contrapunto," a collection of musical examples from the Italian and Spanish schools, a dictionary of ancient musical terms, and a work on the theory of numbers as applied to music.
Among Martini's pupils were: the Belgian André Ernest Modeste Grétry, the Bohemian Josef Mysliveček, the Ukrainian/Russian Maksym Berezovsky, the young Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Johann Christian Bach, and the famous Italian cellist Giovanni Battista Cirri.

In 1758, Martini was made a member of the Accademia dell'Istituto delle Scienze di Bologna as well as the Accademia dei Filarmonici di Bologna.
In the course of his scholary work, Martini built up a magnificent library (incluiding a collection of portraits) and corresponded with the most famous musicians incluiding Agricola, Locatelli, Marpurg, Quantz, Rameau, Soler, Tartini, as well as to various writers, popes and rulers throughout Europe.
Martini wrote in the new homophonic style with its thin texture and absolute supremacy of the treble; his books of sonatas, and choral and organ pieces, are written in luxuriant counterpoint.

 TACTUS Catalogue available from MusicWeb
The Twelve Sonate d'intavolatura per l'organo e il cembalo of Giovanni Battista Martini were printed in Amsterdam by the publisher Michel Charles Le Cène in 1742.
Martini's sonatas are in actuality very complex compositions, both in their treatment of the musical material and in the technical difficulties that they present to the performer.
Martini elegantly unites the dense polyphonic writing of the late baroque-in a veritable display of contrapuntal knowledgewith contemporary tastes, in anticipation of early classicism.

 Giovanni Battista Martini
Martini citava anche Giacomo Antonio Perti fra i suoi maestri, ma è più probabile che il loro fosse più uno scambio di consigli ed opinioni che non un vero e proprio insegnamento.
Inoltre Martini palesava una indisposizione ideologica nei confronti delle “moderne scoperte”, soprattutto in riferimento agli studi di Tartini sul terzo suono e al nuovo “sistema” teorizzato da Rameau, che egli confutò adducendo argomenti inconcludenti.
Ciò in linea teorica, ma in pratica le composizioni del Martini denotano che non era un nostalgico cultore del passato, anzi soprattutto nello stile concertato, era ben disposto a conoscere ed assimilare nuovi linguaggi espressivi, le nuove tendenze omofoniche proiettate allo stile classico, e le “mode” del suo tempo.

An examination of the book titles which apear in the painting and the names of books mentioned in "Storia della Musica" reveals that the painting reflects the time that Martini was working on the chapter "Dissertazione Seconda" of the "Storia".
Also revealed is Martini's critical use of sources, as he rarely uses unreliable or secondary sources.
The books help date the painting: It apears that Crespi painted it between 1725-1742, and the book-titles were added later, between 1746-1757, by another painter.
