Benedetto Marcello (1686–1739). Italian composer. Born in Venice, he was a member of a noble family. Marcello was a younger contemporary of Antonio Vivaldi in Venice. His instrumental music enjoys a Vivaldian flavor. His elder brother Alessandro was also a notable composer. Marcello himself was praised for "strength and regularity of design" and "noble simplicity."
Marcello's Suonate op. 2 was first published in Venice in 1712. The popularity of this collection is proven by the fact that they were published again the same year in Amsterdam. And also published in London in 1730. The sonata op. 2 no. 8 was written in "sonata da chiesa" form and has four movements: slow - fast - slow - fast. This sonata is now arranged by saxophonist Cheng-yu Lee. He transcribed it still in original key, but for soprano/alto saxophone and piano.
