about
Little is known about the life of Pasquale Pericoli, who lived and worked in the second half of the eighteenth century. He is known to have produced operas in Stockholm for some years, and he himself claimed to be of Neapolitan origin. His Neapolitan roots certainly are betrayed in his 6 Cello Sonatas, in which the formal structure of the Sonata (albeit in embryonic form, not yet fully developed as in the Classical Period) is imbued with melodic charm and cantabile, the cello seeming to sing instead of play.
