Sonatas 1 & 2 for Treble Recorder and Basso Continuo

Martino Bitti (1655/56 - 1743) was the leading violinist/composer in Florence during the period dominated by Corelli in Rome, Torelli in Bologna and Vivaldi in Venice. For many years players of the recorder and oboe have delighted in his sonatas for their instruments. His compositions are musically substantial, forward-looking and marked by great melodic beauty, contrapuntal strength and, above all, a distinctive voice.

Score: 11 pages. 2 parts @ 7 pages ea. (Keyboard parts are separate for each Sonata, recorder plays from the score)
