Fiore: 3 Trattenimenti per due violoncelli o violoncello e basso continuo

Informatie

Angelo Maria Fiore (c. 1660-1723), composer and virtuoso cellist, was the founder of the Piedmont school. In 1697 he was invited to the Accademia Filarmonica di Bologna as a rare cello player. During his lifetime his work entitled Trattenimenti di camera a due stromenti, violino e cimbalo o violino e Cello was published by Bartolomeo Gregori in 1698, barely three years after the first cello sonatas to appear in print, the works of Giuseppe Jacchini. Three of the 14 Trattenimenti were written for cello and basso continuo, they form the contents of this volume. This edition is faithful to the text of the source, the archaic style of writing has been modernized, to make the score, intended for practical (mainly pedagogical) purposes, easier to read.
