A sequel to First Solos for the Viol, this book provides a basic repertoire of Italian, French, English, Spanish and German music, mostly with a continuo part. These are "performing" pieces selected to be within the range of a competent though less experienced player.

UOEDM22 During its climax, the viol had a reputation for being able to imitate the finest nuances of the human voice and express the deepest feeling of the soul. At the end of the XVIII century, as it was considered too difficult and aristocratic, it became obsolete with respect to the new standards prevailing during that pre-revolutionary period, and it was rapidly deposed by the cello. This last was promoted throughout the whole of Europe by some virtuosi, mostly Italian. And so also Wilhelm Friedrich II, king of Prussia, at first pupil (by correspondence) of Forqueray the son, passed later on to the cello, under the guidance of Duport. In these last years the viol has found its splendour again, and its beautiful repertory, supported by some excellent musicians in concerts, recordings — even at the cine­ma — has obtained the recognition of the wide public and of certain institutions, which have included it in their teaching courses. The teaching of the Ancients, mostly based on direct transmittion and on the imitation of the teacher, has left us only few treatises, often lapidary and adaptable with difficulty to our current didactic methods. Thus, the apprentices of viol, having to face up to the venture of referring to a tradition which was interrupted for two centuries, will certainly welcome this new method with satisfaction. Intentionally devoid of photos and commentaries, this method does not intend to replace the living example of the teacher, but provides, in the form of progressive exercises, an essential help to the development of a synthetic and personal technique on the instrument. Many countries have recognized since long time the advantages offered by the viol in approaching the pleasures of music at different levels: – the different sizes making up the viol family allows the child to grow up having the experience of a superb ensemble repertory; – its humble but essential support role in the basso continuo aids the understanding of the musical structure; – its solo repertory, covering a wide range of styles, contains pieces by composers of great genius.

ZO2100174 11 Movements from Bach's Violin Sonatas and Partias arranged for Alto Recorder Solo Frans Brüggen, who edited these ’11 movements from the Sonatas and Partias for Violin solo’ for Alto recorder, says about his work, that he created an ‘autograph facsimile’ of J.S.Bach’s original. It’s just a ‘subjective rendering of the text’; Brüggen didn’t add ‘editorial account’ or gave explanations. That’s why the recorder students have to come up ‘with a better version’ themselves. So it’s ‘studying material of high musical quality’ for every Alto recorder student.

Preface by Biordi: This book has been written for intermediate level viola da gamba students, as a working tool to assist them in their study of scales and arpeggios in every key, covering the instrument’s full extension. The scales and arpeggios develop over two, three or, when possible, four octaves. Some fingering has been included to allow the students to play in parts of the fingerboard rarely used, but of fundamental importance in the study of the more complex repertoire of this instrument. I decided it would be useful to include only the essential fingerings, although in particular cases fingerings have been added to make for easier reading. All position shifts have been indicated. Those notes without fingering are intended to be played without position changes until indicated. In the three-octave scales I used fingering that requires the use of a 4-4 position change, as often appears in Marin Marais’s works for viola da gamba.
