More so than the violin, the cello had to Wright to achieve its independence as a great soloist. Its timbre is said to be, of all instruments, the one that is the closest to the human voice. From the 16th century onwards, it was used to support the latter, and at the same time provide a solid bass foundation for whole of the violin family. Towards the end of the 17th century, however, Italian composers, concerned with developing instrumental music, discerned the capacities that were peculiar to the cello. One of them, Giovanni Battista Degli Antoni (about wham we know very little apart form the fact that , like his bother Pietro, he was born in Bologna round about 1660, and spent his life there as and organist), published, in 1687, a set of Ricercare sopra il violoncello o caviecemballo, which are among the first texts devoted expressly to the cello.
