Third Annual Violafest
Description:
The third year of viola concerts at Bloomingdale will focus
on works that are now played on viola, but were written originally
for exotic string instruments. The program will feature Schubert's
Arpeggione Sonata, Bach's Sixth
Cello Suite, and Telemann's
Fantasia in D major. Each work has become a standard part of
the viola repertoire, but was originally composed for an instrument
that no longer exists. The Arpeggione
Sonata was written for
a bowed guitar (now extinct) called the arpeggione. The Sixth
Cello suite was actually written for what was called a "violoncello
piccolo," and Telemann's Fantasia was written for a viola da
gamba. The program will include pictures and descriptions of
these instruments.
