Giovanni Maria
Bononcini (1642-1678)
published in Bologna in
the last year of his
life, i. e. in 1678 a
collection of 24
movements for two violins
and basso continuo
entitled Arie e Correnti
a tre (Op. 12). In
agreement with the sonata
da camera traditions of
the early Baroque the
collection is a series of
9 two-movement and 2
three-movement sonatas.
It was published again in
London in 1701 with the
title Ayres in 3 parts.
Four years later a
revised edition of the
work appeared, also in
London, which bore the
title Bononcini's Aires
for two Flutes and a
Bass. The edition
published in Amsterdam
without date, but
presumably around 1725,
with the title Preludes,
Allemandes,Sarabandes,
Courantes, Gavottes et
Gigues á 2 Flutes ou
Violons et une Basse, is
essentially a reprint of
the London edition. The
present edition contains
this posthumous revised
variant. Territorial
restrictions may apply.
Please ask before
ordering.
