Summary of This Score
This edition combines a facsimile conductor's score and separate parts, a format particularly appreciated by musicians alternating between individual practice and group rehearsals. The conductor's score allows the conductor, continuo player, or ensemble leader to have a complete overview of the writing, entrances, and balances, while the separate parts provide each performer with dedicated material, more comfortable on the music stand.
Written by Johann Gottlieb Graun, this score fits within the German Baroque aesthetic, with attention given to the dialogue between soloist and orchestra. The viola da gamba holds a central role: phrasing, articulation, and line shaping invite careful attention to bow attack, bowing technique, and ornamentation according to the style's conventions. For the orchestra, the edition facilitates the coordination of responses, unisons, and contrasts, enabling effective work on rhythmic precision and sound balance.
Whether you are preparing a concert on period instruments, a Baroque music program at a conservatory, or an ensemble reading, this material supports you with an approach that is both faithful (thanks to the facsimile) and functional (thanks to the modern edition). It is a relevant choice for viol players seeking a reference score, and for ensembles wishing to have a complete ready-to-use set.
