Martino Bitti
‘Dresden’ Sonata No. 3 in G minor
Violin and basso continuo
edited by Alessandro Borin | Antonio Frigé
This expressive four-movement sonata in G minor opens with an Adagio in the style of a slow cantata aria, complete with an introductory ritornello for the continuo. There follow an Allegro in perpetuum mobile style, an Adagio with much double- and triple-stopping for the violin and a powerful fugue demonstrating the potency of invertible counterpoint.
