ABEL, Carl Friedrich (1723-1787)
Sonata Viola da Gamba Solo Senza Basso, and other pieces for bass viol solo from the Pembroke collection, A1:1-4
In the 1770s Carl Friedrich Abel instructed the Countess of Pembroke in the viola da gamba. From this time an eighty-four-page manuscript volume is preserved, the so called Pembroke collection, which contains many sonatas for viol by Abel which are technically rather simple.
