Almost as soon as he arrived in England, the violin playing of German virtuoso Thomas Baltzar (1631-63) caused a sensation. He was praised in particular for conveying polyphonic textures on the violin, playing "on that single instrument a full consort." Baltzar's technical accomplishment was such that one listener even bent down to see if his feet were cloven, since he had played beyond human capacities. This edition gathers for the first time all of Thomas Baltzar's known works for unaccompanied violin as well as his divisions on the tune "John, Come Kiss Me Now" for violin and basso continuo.

  • April 25, 2021 Great Music for Unaccompanied Violin

    This book is a goldmine of beautiful, expressive, and intricately crafted early Baroque music for unaccompanied violin. The composer was born in Germany and made his career in London, where he created a sensation with his ability to play polyphonically on the violin - a technique that is highlighted in these...

    pieces. Great to be enjoyed for their own sake or as studies in preparation for Bach's great solo works.
