SET033 Albinoni: Sonatas and Suites, Opus 8
This edition is a set of two volumes, each sold separately.
These six sonatas and six suites demonstrate the expansive lyricism and the contrapuntal texture characteristic of Italian chamber music in the early 1700s. In the fast movements of the sonatas, the soloists play in canon, with occasional imitation in the bass part.
