Music once rang in abundance through Rome’s palazzi, where a multitude of musicians flocked as if seeking a new El Dorado. Corelli landed there in 1671 and immediately caused a stir. His concerti grossi impressed Händel, whom he met while the latter was passing through. Locatelli was quick to take up his cause and present Corelli’s work to the world.
