Evaristo Felice Dall'Abaco
Life
Dall'Abaco was born in Verona to renowned guitarist Damiano dall'Abaco. He is thought to have been a pupil of Torelli's from whom he would have learned violin and cello.{{cite web | title=Evaristo Felice Dall'Abaco | work=Conservatorianos | url=http://www.conservatorianos.com.mx/2uzanolli.htm | access-date=2006-08-12}}
He became a violinist with Tommaso Antonio Vitali in Modena, and in 1704 joined the court of Maximilian II Emanuel, Elector of Bavaria in Munich as Kammermusiker.{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=bA5uKL3ig8EC&q=a+dictionary-index+of+musicians&pg=PR13|title=A dictionary-index of musicians (eds.

When he went into exile with the court, he spent time in France and absorbed some of the influences there. On Maximilian's restoration and return to Munich in 1715, Dall'Abaco was appointed Concert-meister. He continued to compose chamber music at the French and Dutch courts until 1740, when he retired.Haynes, Bruce.

Dall'Abaco's music is especially indebted to Vivaldi and Corelli. Dall'Abaco died on his 67th birthday.
While in Brussels, dall'Abaco fathered Joseph Abaco (1710–1805).{{cite web | title=Composers Biography : A - Ah | work=Dolmetsch Online | url=http://www.dolmetsch.com/cdefsa.htm | access-date=2006-08-12}}
