Giovanni Legrenzi

Two sonatas op. 8/6-7

Giovanni Legrenzi is widely regarded as a pioneering innovator of early Baroque instrumental music. His masterful "2 Sonatas Op. 8/6-7" impressively capture the emancipation of instrumental composition from the dominance of vocal traditions, marking the bold shift from the strict "stile alla Palestrina" to the brilliant, dynamic language of the "concerto." Scored for two expressive violins, cello, and basso continuo, these pieces unfold with captivating dialogue, harmonic refinement, and spirited energy. This premium edition from the renowned Amadeus Verlag includes both the full score and complete set of parts. An indispensable gem for passionate chamber ensembles and Baroque enthusiasts seeking to enrich their repertoire with historically significant and enchanting music!
