As far as we
know Vivaldi wrote twenty
trio sonatas. Several of
these works are actually
for two parts, as the
continuo merely doubles
one of the two solo
instruments. In the
titles of four of these
trio sonatas ('Suonata da
camera, a 2 violini anco
senza basso se piace',
meaning if desired the
sonata can be played
without the bass part)
Vivaldi himself gave his
approval to the omission
of the third instrument.
In the light of this, the
present publication gives
the four works in the
form of violin duos.We
recommend these
three-movement sonatas,
in a fast-slow-fast
format, for violinists
who are already advanced
in their studies. 1.

“
Four Studies was
written for Angela and
Jennifer Chun in 2014.
Each movement has a drone
which lasts for the
duration of the movement.
The first bar of
movements 1 and 4 can be
quite long. The drone
should remain loosely
indifferent to the other
part, avoiding any
overly-dramatic
commentary. That having
been said, the droning
player should feel free
to subtly and constantly
change the nature of the
sound. Rests are meant to
be played freely,
expanding and contracting
as the spirit moves the
soloists, but the notes
should be played in
relatively even time. The
space between the
movements can work either
with very short pauses or
with no pauses at all;
this is left up to the
discretion of the
performers.”
– Nico
Muhly
