Biber: Violin Sonatas (1681)

Album by Heinrich Ignaz Franz von Biber & Ars Antiqua Austria & Gunar Letzbor

Violin Sonatas (1681) is a collection of violin sonatas by Heinrich Ignaz Franz Biber, published in 1681. The pieces exemplify late 17th-century Baroque violin writing, combining virtuosic scordatura techniques, intricate polyphonic textures and stylised dance movements, and they mark a significant stage in Biber's output and in the development of the solo violin repertoire.
