Nardini's compositions, primarily concertos and sonatas for violin, showcased his virtuosic technique and melodic sensitivity. He was known for his sweet and expressive playing, which earned him the nickname "Il Tartinino" (Little Tartini). Nardini traveled extensively throughout Europe, performing at prestigious courts and theaters. He died in Florence in 1793, leaving behind a legacy as one of the most celebrated violinists of the 18th century.
