FOUR SONATAS from Op. 1 by Johann Mattheson (1681-1764) A German composer, singer, writer, diplomat and music theorist. A life-long friend of G.F. Handel(whom he almost killed with a sword after a quarrel). In his book of 1739 he comments on duets as follows: 'I consider this kind of duet without instruments (accompaniment), if performed well, to be more artistic than the custome widely prevalent nowadays of massive accompanimental backing...' In these four lovely sonatas he incorporates both German and French styles. The range is comfortable. Duet book is 30 pages with third-page fold-out so no bad page turns. Easy to read type. Audio sample: Sonata #1 Prelude-Allegro-Adagio-Gigue Audio
