Violin Sonatas Nos. 1-8, C. 138-145

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

Violin Sonatas Nos. 1-8, C.138-145 is a set of violin sonatas by Bohemian-Austrian composer Heinrich Ignaz Franz Biber, composed in the late 17th century. The works exemplify Baroque violin writing with virtuosic passagework, varied tempi and ornamentation, and they illustrate Biber's role in the development of the solo violin repertoire and stylistic currents in Central European Baroque music.
