Nicola Fiorenza
(c.1700 - Naples, 13 April 1764)

Italian violinist and composer. While specific details about his early life are scarce, his musical career began to take shape in the mid-18th century. In 1726, his Sinfonia in A minor for flute, two violins, and basso continuo was published, marking the earliest verifiable date in his professional life. From 1734 to 1740, he was involved with the prestigious Cappella Reale and the orchestra of the Teatro San Bartolomeo, two of the most important musical institutions in Naples at the time. As a composer, his surviving output remain in manuscript at the Naples Conservatory San Pietro a Majella. The bulk of it consists of 15 concertos for various combinations of instruments and nine symphonies (many of them containing important solos for string or wind instruments and coming close to belonging to the concerto category). His compositions are characterized by a unique blend of lyricism and rhythmic inventiveness and despite his role as a minor figure in the history of instrumental music, he deserves be part in the development of the concerto and the symphony in southern Italy during the first half of the 18th century.
