Six sonatas for two violins by John Addison Violin - Sheet Music
By John AddisonJohn Addison, who was probably Scottish by birth, served the Edinburgh Musical Society as a violinist from 1769 to 1787. In 1772 he brought out in Edinburgh a volume containing six duets in the form of three- or four-movement sonatas for two unaccompanied violins, his only works to survive. Such duets were highly popular throughout the eighteenth century as music for domestic recreation and teaching purposes. Addison’s sonatas are varied and enterprising, including two fugal and two canonic movements but not neglecting a more lyrical vein.
