from: Suites for Viola d’amore and Continuo from around 1700 (Vol. 1)
The critical first edition Suites for Viola d’amore and Continuo from around 1700 (Volume 1–4) makes available to the musical world a previously unknown manuscript from the Lower Austrian Benedictine monastery of Göttweig, containing suites for viola d’amore and continuo. The manuscript dates from around 1700; its composer and scribe are unknown. As can be deducted from several concordances, the composer must have been very close to Heinrich Ignaz Franz Biber.
The present edition contains the separate parts of Suite II for viola d’amore (in scordatura notation and transcribed into sounding pitches) and figured bass.
