ExclusiveRossini: Six Sonatas For Strings, Sonata No. 6 In D Major | Encore

【Classical music and nature 古典音樂小站】Gioachino Antonio Rossini: Six Sonatas For Strings, Sonata No. 6 In D Major. This beautiful piece was played by I Solisti Veneti (an Italian chamber orchestra founded in Padua in 1959 by Claudio Scimone). Claudio Scimone was the conductor. It is provided through archive.org.

The 6 Sonatas for Strings are pleasant diversions for a summer in the country and have become popular for small ensembles of varying kinds.

In the score, Rossini wrote his description of the works and their gestation, describing them as ‘six terrible sonatas that I wrote… in my earliest years, before I had even had any lessons in basso continuo. They were all composed and copied out in three days, and performed in a doggish manner by Triossi (double bass), his cousin Morri (first violin), the latter’s brother (cello), and myself as second violin – no less doggish than the others.’ We no longer believe Rossini’s word on this!

The lovely summer alp meadow was taken by Simone Schlegel in 2023 in Switzerland. The video was edited by Wenjing Ma.
