Summary of This Score
This collection highlights the viola d'amore through two complementary pieces in the key of A major, ideal for approaching the style, rhetoric, and expressiveness characteristic of the early music repertoire. You will find the piece titled: Josef Schmitt (1734-1791) Sonate in A-Dur für Viola d'amore und b.c. Anonymus (before 1687): Sonatina in A-Dur. The set offers a musical reading that is both structured and lyrical, conducive to working on intonation, bow quality, and the specific sound projection of the instrument.
The presence of the basso continuo opens many interpretative possibilities: realization of chords on harpsichord or organ, melodic support on cello or viola da gamba, and fine balancing with the solo part. This configuration also helps strengthen the understanding of cadences, harmony, and phrasing, while developing an accessible and rewarding chamber music practice.
Designed for instrumentalists seeking a viola d'amore score with continuo, this edition is intended both for musicians curious to expand their repertoire and for performers wishing to diversify their programs with a sonata and a characterful sonatina, in a comfortable and frequently used key in early music.
