a cura di Simone Gramaglia. Par PAGANINI NICOLO. Paganini?s Sei Sonate op. 2 (M.S. 26), his Cantabile (M.S. 109) and his Sonata concertata (M.S. 2) bring out all of the timbral and sonic possibilities of both the viola and the guitar. In these pieces, the two voices blend together in a natural way, creating a compelling and well-balanced duo. These three transcriptions make up a perfect introduction to Paganini by way of his chamber compositions and give the violists the opportunity to enrich their concert repertoire by adding the works of an author who is still too rarely performed on the viola./ Recueil / Alto et Guitare ou Luth

To quote the composer: ?This work was commissioned by the violist Nicolas Corti and the guitarist Hans Jonkers to whom I am grateful for our close collaboration in elaborating the guitar part. The duet is one of my pieces whose form is comparable to a walk through a rich landscape from point A to point B.? (Rudolf Kelterborn).Challenging duetUnusual combination of instrumentsInteresting expansion of the repertoire
