This composer's most famous sacred work names a suspension-filled variant of the Prinner in Robert Gjerdingen's Music in the Galant Style. One of this composer's works was the inspiration for J.S. Bach's parody cantata Tilge, HÃ¶chster, meine SÃ¼nden. His most performed work opens with a duet in which an alto melody is followed two beats later by an overlapping soprano imitation one tone higher, over a walking bass in F minor. Gregor Piatigorsky helped another composer transcribe music credited to this man into the Suite (*) Italienne for cello and piano. This man's music was supported by Rousseau against that of Rameau in the War of the Buffoons, which was started by his buffa intermezzo about the domineering housemaid Serpina. Music credited to him was rearranged by Stravinsky in the ballet Pulcinella. For 10 points, name this Italian composer of a 1736 Stabat Mater and La serva padrona.
