In 1922, Hindemith begins to focus on old music and discovers the viola d'amore instrument. He composes a sonata and a concerto for viola d'amore and writes numerous works by Biber, Ariosti, Pezold, Rust, Vivaldi as well as Stamitz and makes his own bassovers for the existing bass parts. All musicians who want to discover this side of the genius Paul Hindemith and at the same time want to immerse themselves in the historical performance practice of Baroque music in the 1920s, should read this first edition of Hindemith's thoroughbass interpretation of this masterpiece.
