Picinetti: Cello Sonata in C Major

Description

Felice Maria Picinetti is one of those composers who did not make a lasting mark on the history of music. He is believed to have been active as a cellist in Dresden around 1733. His cello sonata hints at a lively temperament and a solid training in the Baroque sonata da chiesa style. It affords cellists a welcome opportunity of performing Baroque music as a soloist instead of as a continuo player.
