Description

Edited by David Lasocki. Basso continuo realization by Bernard Gordillo. Published July 2012.
Score and double part for recorder + bass instrument (IH0018a).
Praise:
“There is an overall melancholic feel to the sonata in the four movements, with drooping appoggiaturas in the Adagio, leading to a fiery Allego. The third movement, Largo, is achingly beautiful, with long dissonant suspensions between the recorder and continuo parts, and some of the harmony is surprising and unpredictable. The work then concludes with a lively and slightly more joyful jig-like Allegro. Overall … this is another excellent modern critical edition by David Lasocki, with a very successful basso continuo realization by Bernard Gordillo. This may or may not be a work by Corelli, but this does not matter, as it is a great sonata to play and perform, and works well on the recorder.”
