WOLFF, Christian Michael (1707-1789)
Wolff. Sonata in C major for obbligato harpsichord/harp and violetta/viola da gamba.
Cemb/Har+Va/VdG
The organist and composer Christian Michael Wolff spent most of his life in Stettin (now Szczecin, Poland) as a highly respected musician. Among his surviving works is a collection of six sonatas for a melody instrument and obbligato harpsichord, from which this sonata in C-major for viola or viola da gamba (bass or tenor viol) and harpsichord or harp is taken. With this edition, we present a work that expands the not very extensive early Classical repertoire for this instrumentarium, and particularly that for the tenor viol.
Editor: Günter and Leonore von Zadow.
