About this arrangement

Violin & basso continuo SKU: HH.HH478-FSP Composed by Antoine Favre. Edited by Michael Talbot. Violin & Basso Continuo. Full score and parts. Edition HH Music Publishers #HH478-FSP. Published by Edition HH Music Publishers (HH.HH478-FSP). ISBN 9790708146896.Antoine Favre (c.1670–c.1739), was a composer of rare ability whose few surviving collections, all published during the 1730s, have hitherto remained unknown not only to performers but also to the majority of scholars. His second book of sonatas for violin and basso continuo (the first is lost) contains six substantial five-movement works suited equally to concert performance and domestic enjoyment. Players will relish their variety of expression, embracing both the Italian and French styles, and formal sophistication, as well as their harmonic resourcefulness, contrapuntal ingenuity and idiomatic instrumental writing.
