Content:
In the early 17th century, enthusiasm for the violin swept across Europe - this was an instrument capable of bewitching virtuosity, with the power to express emotions in a way only before achieved with the human voice. With this guide to the Baroque violin, and its close cousin, the Baroque viola, distinguished performer and pedagogue Walter Reiter puts this power into the hands of today's players. Through 50 lessons based on the Reiter's own highly-renowned course at The Royal Conservatory of the Hague, this book provides a comprehensive exploration of the period's rich and varied repertoire. The lessons in Volume II cover the early 17th-century Italian sonata, music of the French Baroque, the Galant style, and the sonatas of composers like Schmelzer, Biber, and Bach.
