Giovanni Battista Bononcini was born on 18 July 1670 in Modena and died on 9 July 1747 in Vienna.
Bononcini was the son of Italian church musician Giovanni Maria Bononcini from Modena. He received his first artistic education through his father. When he died in 1678, he was in Bologna pupil of Giovanni Paolo Colonna and Giorgio Buoni, from whom he received cello lessons.
From 1688 he was a church musician in Bologna.
From 1692 Bononcini worked in Rome and traveled in 1696 via Venice to Vienna.
There he became a member of the court band of Emperor Leopold I, where he also had success as a composer. Concert tours to Berlin brought him great success in the spring of 1702.
Until 1711 he was still working at the Austrian court. He then undertook longer study trips, including to Venice and Rome.
From there he was engaged in 1720 (together with George Frideric Handel), the Italian opera house in London.
The concerts, which Bononcini often performed as a soloist with the cello, were highly valued by the London aristocracy; The Marlborough family employed him for a time as a house musician. Between 1720 and 1724 Bononcini was a member of the Royal Academy of Music in London. Bononcini spent his last years in Vienna, where he died 9 days before his 77th birthday.
