master, Monasterio gained le prix d'honneur at the Conservatoire for violin playing. He then became solo violinist at the Theatre Royal, Brussels, and assistant professor in the Conservatoire. Shortly after this he returned to Spain, and was appointed by the Queen violin professor at the Madrid Conservatoire, and later solo violinist in the Chapel Royal and of the chamber-music. During his artistic career he travelled much in France, Belgium, and Germany, creatinga favourable impression by his refined performances.
Mondonville,--(son of Jean Joseph
Cassanea de Mondonville, the composer), born in Paris in 1748, died there in 1808. Fiddler of merit in his time, and composer of six sonatas for violin and bass. Later in life he studied the hautbois and performed thereon at concerts.
Montanari, Francesco, (Antonio?), born at Padua towards the end of the seventeenth century, died in the year 1730. Fiddler of eminence in his day, pupil of Corelli, became attached to the orchestra of St. Peter's, Rome, about 1700. Dr. Burney says of this artist, that he died brokenhearted when Bini visited Rome in 1730, and became recognised as the finest performer of that period, a position previously accorded to Montanari. He composed twelve sonatas for violin, arranged also for the flute.
