  GIOVANNI BATTISTA BONONCINI - LoveToKnow Article on GIOVANNI BATTISTA BONONCINI   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
(1672-1750), Italian musical composer, was the son of the composer Giovanni Maria Bononcini, best known as the author of a treatise entitled Il Musico Prattico (Bologna, 1673), and brother of the composer Marc Antonio Bononcini, with whom he has often been confused.

Either he or his brother (our knowledge of the two composers lives is at present not sufficient to distinguish their works clearly) was the inventor of that sharply rhythmical style conspicuous in it T?ionfo di Camilla (1697), the success of which at Naples probably induced Scarlatti to adopt a similar type of melody.
