Italian composer admired by Bach (7)
I believe the answer is:
corelli
(Other definitions for corelli that I've seen before include "Marie - - , romantic 17" , "Arcangelo --, Italian baroque composer" , "Arcangelo, seventeenth to eighteenth century Italian composer, violinist" , "Captain -'s Mandolin (de Bernires)" , "A mandolin-playing Captain" .)
