Probably a pupil of Corelli's who may also have studied under Vivaldi, Carlo Tessarini is first mentioned as a violinist at St. Mark's Cathedral, Venice in 1720. From there he joined the Cathedral band at Urbino and spent seven years as a court musician at Brno, Bohemia, moving to the Netherlands in 1744. Tessarini may have visited Paris and London but seems to have spent his latter years in the Netherlands where, in Arnhem on 15 December 1766 he gave his last concert and is thought to have died shortly afterwards. He wrote a number of violin sonatas and 'concerti grossi', some of which suggest Vivaldi's influence, but Tessarini has been credited, in his own right, with important contributions to the evolution of the sonata and concerto.

In 1737 the London music publisher John Walsh produced "XII Solos for a German Flute, a Hoboy or Violin with a Thorough Bass for the Harpsichord or Bass Violin Compos'd by Carlo Tessarini ... Opera Seconda" (op.2). Being the only music of Tessarini's to be published in London casts doubt on its authenticity, but if these sonatas are not by Tessarini, his reputation must have been good for someone to want to pass off their work as his. Whoever composed this music, it has been described by no less an oboist than Evelyn Rothwell as having " .... flowing and at times florid melodic lines ... typical of the music of many Italian composers of the eighteenth century, attractive for the listener and most gratifying for the players."
