The German Baroque period featured three virtuosi: Biber, Westhoff and Johann Jakob Walther.
Walther (1650-1717) performed as a violinist in the orchestra of Cosimo III from 1670 to 1674 (Medici dynasty) and served as concertmaster at the court in Dresden.
Walther's compositions are contained in two books: Scherzi da Violino solo con il basso continuo (1676) and Hortulus Chelicus (1688).
This book presents six sonatas for violin from Hortulus Chelicus transcribed for the mandolin.
The collection is a wonderful addition to the classical mandolin repertoire. All the sonatas are written in standard notation and tablature, available as Book or eBook + Online Audio.
