pixel * ENGLISH SONATAS FOR FLUTE (OR VIOLIN) AND BASSO CONTINUO *

Six sonatas, Volume 1
 Six sonatas, Volume 2
 pixel
pixelBenjamin Skinner
Skinner’s main publication was a set of six sonatas for flute, violin or solo harpsichord, which came out in 1752. These unpretentious pieces, then as now well suited to performance by amateurs or by musicians in training, are full of delights, mixing stylistic features inspired by Purcell or Handel with evocations of English popular vocal music and also the newer galant style introduced from Italy.

Perhaps these sonatas work best with flute and basso continuo, but the performance option with violin is also good.

Den lille danserinnen (‘The Little Ballerina’) evokes a charming, gracious, light-footed dancer, while Nocturne makes the piano sing in the romantic tradition. Both these delightful short pieces would be ideal encores!
