Matteo Zocarini

Matteo Zocarini was an 18th-century composer.

The only pieces of music known from him are 6 concertini for cello and basso continuo, printed by the Amsterdam music publisher Estienne Roger around 1740. The cover of this sheet music refers to Zocarini as an amatore della musica.

It is understood that Zocarini was a virtuous cellist, thus the special attention for this instrument in his composing work. There is a possibility that he played in Paris under the name Zuccharini in 1737.

The character of the music composed by Zocarini is described as comparable with Bach's Italian Concert.
