Charles Avison
12 Concertos in Seven Parts (complete facsimile part books)

"12 Concertos in Seven Parts" published by Charles Avison are arrangements from harpsichord sonatas by Domenico Scarlatti in "concerto grosso" style. It is interesting to observe how Avison transformed these solo harpsichord pieces into orchestral works for 7 string voices. It was published in 1744 in London as seven part books: Violino Primo Concertino, Violino Secondo Concertino, Violoncello, Violino Primo Ripieno, Violino Secondo Ripieno, Alto Viola and Basso Ripieno. We publish this work in different forms: (a) six volumes of newly edited scores, (b) six part books in facsimile (c) six part books in modern notation and (d) complete facsimile part books. They are all sold separately.
