SABBATINI, (P. Lud. Ant.) commonly called Sabbatini of Padua, was a pupil in counterpoint of Padre Martini, as also, probably, of P. Valloti, whom he succeeded as chapel-master of the church of St. Anthony, at Padua. He published several theoretical and practical works, namely: “A Treatise on Chords, according to the Classification of Fundamental Bass:” this book is entitled, in Italian, “La vera Idea delle Musicali Numeriche Segnature,” Venice, 1799. “Treatise on Fugue,” in two volumes, with many examples from the works of P. Vailoti, Venice, 1801. “Elementi teorici e pratici di Musica,” Rome, 1790: this is a solfeggio, the rules and lessons of which are in canons. The “25 Salmi di Benedetto Marcello,” a new edition, published in 1803, in conjunction with P. Anselmo Marsand: of Sabbatini's part in this edition it is said on the title, “Il quale ha ridotto il testn à moderna lettura;” and of Marsand's part, “Da cuifù corretta e ricorretta la stampa.” Sabbatini has also composed a great variety of music for the church, which chiefly remained in manuscript.
