Marin Marais (1656-1728) Compositions from the First Book for two violas da gamba and basso continuo Editor: Günter and Leonore von Zadow, publication date: 2014-06, continuo realization: Dankwart von Zadow, source: Pieces a une at a deux violes [Premier Livre], Paris 1686-1869 Description Marais' music represents for many the pinnacle of the French viol literature, and the facsimile reproductions of his five books are widely distributed among gambists. For all those who prefer not to play from facsimiles, Edition Güntersberg has issued the suites for two viols from the First Book in modern practical editions. Besides the three part books our editions contain a score, which serves for a better orientation of the continuo players. In addition, for harpsichord players who want to get used to this music we provide a second score, which contains a thoroughly conceived continuo realization. Our viol parts show all performance instructions of the original and are structured in such a way that players as far as possible need not turn pages within movements. The editions contain an instructive introduction in German, English and French.

Diego Ortiz's Trattado is a classic in the art of musical ornamentation. Part 1 provides examples of every cadence while part 2 discusses the interplay between viola da gamba and harpsichord, including many pieces for this combination of instruments as illustrations. All lovers of early music are familiar with Ortiz's standard work, but how many of them have actually read it' This new edition makes the work more accessible by choosing a synoptic layout: the original Spanish and Italian are printed on a double-page spread along with translations into modern German and English. An introduction by Annette Otterstedt explains the Trattado and its origins, the various tunings, and questions regarding the instrument. The musical section has been freshly engraved, and a separate viol part simplifies performances with a keyboard instrument. For the first time, Ortiz's text is now available to an international readership in the original and in translation at the same time. The Editor Annette Otterstedt is a concert gamba player and musicologist presently employed as an assistant curator at the Music Instrument Museum in Berlin . She has published several books, including Die Gambe (1994; Eng. trans. as The Viol, 2002) and a great many articles on early music. Ortiz, Diego Trattado de Glosas Edition no.
