Antonio Brioschi
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Antonio Brioschi (fl. c. 1725–1750) was an Italian symphony composer who wrote at least twenty six symphonies.
Brioschi was a pioneer in symphonic music in the early Classical period which traditionally starts around 1730. He appears to have been a more prolific symphonic composer during this period than even the better-known Giovanni Battista Sammartini and seems to have been active in or near Milan, as opposed to the major composers of the era such as Mozart, Haydn, Beethoven, and Schubert who worked at least for a time in Vienna.
