- A simple but emotional sonata, originally for oboe and piano
(or harpsichord) and Bassa Continuo.
-
For those not knowing the concept of Bassa Continuo here is a brief explanation.
Many compositions of the old masters only have a melody and a bass part with instructions for
the harmony. This bass part is called the Bassa Continuo. The harpsichord player and/or other
accompanists have to make up their own part based on this continuo. You can compare it with
jazz- and popbands playing only with melody and chords as a base.
-
Properly working out the continuo is not always an easy job. Often you will come up with something
fitting but not sounding well. In other cases you will have one brilliant idea after another,
but none matches the composers instructions. Therefore you will find often interpretations
which do not fully consider the Bassa Continuo of the composer. I do not like those.
-
This sonata Includes the following parts: Andante,
Allegro, Larghetto and Allegretto.
