Violinist & Composer Gaetano Pugnani Born On This Day in 1731 [ON-THIS-DAY]

Italian violinist and composer Gaetano Pugnani was born on this day in 1731.

He is remembered in history, as violin virtuoso Fritz Kreisler borrowed his name to publish a number of show pieces, including ‘Praeludium and Allegro’ and ‘Tempo di Minuetto’ – only later revealing the works to be his own.
