Johann Mattheson's Der brauchbare Virtuoso ("The Capable Virtuoso"), published in Hamburg in 1720, sets the tone for this program of trio sonatas inspired by Corelli and the idea that Italian, French, and German styles might be fused in an integrated musical style.
The Salish Sea Early Music Festival presents chamber music from the 15th through 19th centuries on period instruments in cities all around the Salish Sea.
