Giovanni Battista Predieri

Giovanni Battista Predieri was an Italian composer and organist associated with the musical life of Bologna in the eighteenth century. His surviving music includes keyboard sonatas, sacred works, oratorios and concertos. His organ sonatas reflect the transition from Baroque writing to the galant style and were often intended for use during the Offertory. Several are preserved in the Genoese manuscript collection recorded by Rodolfo Bellatti.
