Stylisti
cally, this anonymous
sonata for scordatura
violin, which has been
preserved in the holdings
of the Dresden Court
Orchestra, points to the
southern German-Austrian
school of violin, and it
shows the high level of
the art of violin playing
in Germany in the late
17th and early 18th
centuries. A
contemporary, handwritten
note on the cover of the
music refers to Heinrich
Ignaz Franz Biber and
there are actually
amazing similarities to
works by this composer
which would suggest that
he indeed composed the
work. However, a
definitive clarification
of this question must
remain open.
