The 19-year-old Monteverdi wrote in the dedication that these youthful compositions need “no other praise than that which is usually given to the flowers of spring, compared with that given to the fruits of summer and autumn.”

TONIGHT and TOMORROW! 🎻 Mozart’s most famous violin sonata in B-flat, K 454 was written for the Italian virtuosa, Regina Strinasacchi, who famously received the part only the night before the performance. Leopold Mozart said of her: “Her whole heart and soul is in the melody she delivers, and her power and beauty of tone are equally remarkable. I believe, as a rule, that a woman of genius plays with more expression than a man.” Enrico Gatti, violin and Gwendolyn Toth, fortepiano play the Sonata in B-flat and other chamber works by Mozart.
