VI Sonate (Rodolfo Richter) (2005)

Met o.a. Sonata Terza, dat op 5 april 2018 door NeoBarock vertolkt wordt in het Muziekcentrum, Enschede. "Philipp Heinrich Erlebach (1657-1714) worked for most of his career at the same court in Germany's Thuringia region. He was hailed as a top composer in his own time, but an archive fire destroyed most of his manuscripts. So he was almost forgotten. Historical-performance violin specialist Rodolfo Richter has unearthed a set of six Erlebach sonatas for violin, viola da gamba, and continuo, and they offer tantalizing hints that the fire might have robbed us of a compositional giant. As Erlebach himself pointed out and liner note Robert Rawson explains further, the composer sought to infuse Germanic counterpoint into suite-like groupings of dances preceded by multipart introductions. To this end he emancipated the viola da gamba from its usual continuo role and gave it an active part that would still have sounded unusually independent a generation later."
