Violin Sonatas – Op. I

Album by Giovanni Battista Somis & Kreeta-Maria Kentala & Lauri Pulakka & Mitzi Meyerson

Violin Sonatas, Op. I is a collection of violin sonatas by Italian composer Giovanni Battista Somis, published in 1717. They are in the Italian Baroque violin sonata tradition, written for solo violin and basso continuo with an emphasis on melodic violin writing, clear formal contrast between slow and fast movements, and ornamentation typical of the early 18th century.
