Giuseppe Torelli (Verona, April 22, 1658 - Bologna, February 8, 1709) was an Italian violinist, pedagogue and composer.
He was the brother of Felice Torelli, a noted painter, and is most remembered for his contributions to the development of the instrumental concerto, especially concerti grossi and the solo concerto, as well as compositions for strings and continuo, and trumpet.
On June 27, 1684, at the age of 26, he became a member of the Accademia Filarmonica as suonatore di violino.

It is largely in this native medieval tradition that English and Spanish theatres and staging conventions of the late 16th and early 17th centuries are to be understood, and the same is true for those of the German-speaking countries of the period, and even, to some degree, for those of France.
In the course of the 17th century the conception of spectacle, which originated and was developed in Italy, spread throughout Europe as a result of the efforts of such designers as Bernini, Torelli, and Inigo Jones.
Perspective scenery, the use of elaborate stage machinery to achieve spectacular effects, and the proscenium-arched stage were absorbed by all the European countries, though in the process the Italianate style of staging developed unique national features as it encountered native traditions in specific historical circumstances.

Giuseppe Torelli was active in the orchestra of the huge Basilica di San Petronio in Bologna, first from 1686 to 1695 as a violist and then, from 1701 to 1709, as a violinist; in the intervening years, during which the basilica’s orchestra was disbanded, he worked in Ansbach and Vienna.
The so-called Concerto by Torelli is not to be found among the rich collection of manuscripts still surviving in Bologna, but instead appeared in about 1715 as the sixth in a series of concertos by Bitti, Vivaldi, and Torelli published in Amsterdam by Etienne Roger, who, incidentally, was also Corelli’s publisher.
Its structure, too, resembles that of several other Torelli pieces in which the trumpet serves as a foil to the continously operating string body, so that it is not to be considered as a trumpet concerto, but rather as a (group) concerto with trumpet.

The church of San Petronio in Bologna where Torelli and other Bolognese musicians worked was a shaping influence upon the beginning development of the Baroque concerto.
The fact that Torelli had at his disposal the small group of expert solo players as well as the larger group made a natural surrounding for the composing of musical works that utilized the soloist to good advantage for solos and extra musicians to form the ripieno or background musicians.
Torelli and Arcangelo Corelli (1653-1713) are the most important concerto composers of the early Baroque.

 Giuseppe Torelli program notes (Nov'04) | Chamber Orchestra of the Springs
Between 1681 and 1684 Torelli moved to Bologna, where he became a member of the Accademia filarmonica on June 27, 1684, and around 1692 was elevated to the rank of compositore.
Torelli's Sinfonia a Quattro in C Major, Giegling 33, is a fine example of the instrumental music that flourished at San Petronio, which boasted excellent acoustics and two pipe organs facing each other.
The Sinfonia a Quattro is arguably the most adventurous and it foreshadowed the three-movement structure of the pre-classical symphony while heralding the arrival of the symphonic age.

Torelli's music is stately and elegant in the Northern Italian way--the musical equilivant of Andrea Palladio's Villa Barbaro.
Born in Verona, he was a member of the Bolognese school of composition, living from 1658 to 1709 and spending the majority of his career in Northern Italy.
He was also called "the father of the concerto." Yet at the same time, the sensitive and exact playing on period instruments by Sasso's ensemble also give Torelli's music a "golden glow" effect that his contemporary Corell's music also shares.

The Torelli problem asks if the period map is injective, i.e., if the Hodge structure uniquely determines the variety.

Finally, for cubics surfaces the period map is constant, thus Torelli fails in this case.
