Locatelli Trio Sonatas op 5

♪♫♪ ♪♫♫♪

The greatest violinists before Paganini were Vivaldi, Tartini, Locatelli and Viotti. Locatelli was named Paganini of the 18th century, his op3 suite "The Art of Violin" contained cadenzas he called caprices that helped advance the progression of violin virtuosity. Locatelli's music later became the main influence of Paganini to write his own set of caprices.

These sonatas include the infusion of transverse flute and serve as another wonderful example of how violin and flute compliment each other so well.

Of all contemporary violinists that seek authenticity in sound and perform on instruments created during or close to the time frame the music that was written, there are three that stand out as favorites: Rachel Podger, Elizabeth Wallfisch, and Andrew Manze. Podger is my favorite but I love all three without question.

As for recordings of more early violin music, I specifically recommend 'Perla Barocca' by Podger and a cd titled 'Early Italian Violin Sonatas' by Wallfisch who has been involved with the musical unit called Convivium that used to use the name The Locatelli Trio that made many wonderful contributions to the catalog of lesser heard baroque violin music.

In order to raise awareness and gain a better understanding of the sequential order of early violin music, I have made a list of early violin composers and the year they were born, simply by doing searches of the names mentioned below and following the recorded repertoire of Podger, Manze and Wallfisch you will find there is much to discover.
