Manuscript number Mus. Ms. 31528 of the British Library, London, is a collection of 46 undated works for violoncello. Of these at least 30 are autograph works from Giuseppe Dall’Abaco (a mix of solo sonatas with basso continuo, 2 virtuoso cello duos, as well as 1 ‘Duetto’ of debatable provenance) including his unpublished „Op.1“ (XII Sonate | Per il Violoncello, e Basso | Del Sig. Giuseppe Barone | Dall’Abaco). The very high quality script, along with the appearance of bass figures at critical moments, strongly suggests that this set of pieces was in preparation for publication. The manuscripts of the remaining 18 sonatas are not so carefully prepared, including scribbled revisions, and are in need of some final corrections. Furthermore, the bass line appears almost entirely without figures, leaving ambiguity as to which instrument(s) would have made up the continuo section. There is a further key difference between these two group of sonatas: whereas the Op.1 works start off relatively easy, and progress in order of difficulty, the other 18 sonatas are works of consistently astonishing virtuosity. They include sparkling passage work in extreme thumb positions akin to Boccherini, long sequences of double stops, and demand exceptional bow as well as left hand technique. All this suggests that these 18 virtuoso sonatas were written for Dall’Abaco’s own private use, as he made his living playing salon concerts, presenting himself as a dashing Italian virtuoso cellist to British society. Similar to cellist-composers like Salvatore Lanzetti, it is plausible that Giuseppe Dall’Abaco’s music fell into two categories: marketable pieces of only moderate difficulty for his students and hobby musicians, and the devilishly-complicated works intended as vehicles for his own virtuosity, to impress a noble audience. On this CD appear 3 Solo Sonatas with basso continuo from the ‘virtuosic’ set of 18, and the 2 Duo Sonatas for two cellos.
