Life
Platti studied music in Italy (mostly singing, the oboe and the violin). While he was still in Italy (until 1722), he also learned to play the recently invented fortepiano and composed sonatas specially dedicated to it.
In 1722, he was called to Wurzburg to work for the prince-bishop of Bamberg and Wurzburg, Johann Philipp Franz von Schonborn. There he married Theresia Langpruckner, a soprano singer with whom he had eight children. Platti spent the rest of his life in Wurzburg, working as a singer, instrument virtuoso and composer
