He studied the violin and singing. He did not attempt to seek a post at church or court but preferred to remain a man of independent means who made music for the love of it. His main concern was in writing and directing his own operas. He married an operatic soprano, Margherita Rimondi, by whom he had six children. Albinoni's instrumental works, mostly for strings, were especially popular. His career reached its climax in 1722, when the Elector of Bavaria Maximilian Emanuel II, to whom he had just dedicated a set of twelve concertos, invited him to Munich to direct his own operas. After that he began to compose less, and appears to have retired in 1741, spending the last two years of his life confined to bed.
