Pietro Locatelli (3 September 1695– 30 March 1764) was an Italian composer and violinist.
A Brilliant Talent
A notice about Locatelli's performance before Frederck William I describes the musician's self-assurance and his vanity in wearing gorgeous, diamond-studded clothes. – Wikipedia
When Locatelli showed his art
It seems he liked to dress the part.
His fingers and his bow astounded,
But added to the way he sounded,
A part of his success was founded
On turning brilliance up a notch, - he
Decked himself like Liberace.
