Johann Pfeiffer. Sonata in D-major for viola da gamba and obbligato harpsichord.
VdG+Cemb
The charm of this sonata lies in the close correspondence of the musical ideas between the two instruments, ideas which, when taken alone, seem rather simple. However, as a whole they produce adiverting, interesting and (in the slow movements) expressive piece, unique to the gamba repertoire.
