Notes

The twelfth title in our series entirely dedicated to the solo cello in the eighteenth century, combined with the previous ones with the sonatas of Lanzetti, Janson, Duport and Spourni, this collection investigates the fascinating path of the Neapolitan school cello in France and, in parallel, around the developments of the respective musical styles towards the birth of the new European music in Classicism. From the bewitching, hypnotic atmospheres of the French Arias to the lively theatricality of the Italian musical imagination, throughout the sixty years preceding the Révolution, the cello was certainly one of the most authentic protagonists.
