Peter Sheppard Skaerved - Giuseppe Tartini: 30 Sonate Piccole for Solo Violin Volume 4, Sonatas Nos. 19 - 24

In the last years of his life, the great composer, violinist and swordsman Giuseppe Tartini (1692�1770) laboured at a cycle of sonatas for solo violin. At six hours in duration, it is the largest integrated work for the instrument. The music is surprisingly lyrical, and frequently has echoes of folk-music from Tartini�s Istrian homeland. This complete recording is based on a fresh study of the source and includes a number of works in Tartini�s shorthand, overlooked in earlier editions, and deciphered by the violinist here, Peter Sheppard Sk�rved.
