Description
The evolution of the Cello during the 18th century marked a significant transition from its role as a continuo instrument to one that embraced a more prominent soloistic function. Concurrently, this transformation spurred advancements in the Cello repertoire. While the initial solo sonatas emerged in the late 17th century, it was not until a century later that a virtuosic repertoire began to take shape, influenced by the artists represented in this collection.
