« Whoever has had the good fortune to practise or study under the school of the famous Signor Bernardo Pasquini in Rome, or whoever has at least heard or seen him play, will have been able to know the truest, most beautiful and noble manner of playing and accompanying; and in this full manner will have heard from his cymbal a marvellous perfection of harmony ».

(Francesco Gasparini, L’armonico pratico al cimbalo, Venezia,1708)
