Abel, Carl Friedrich (1723–1787): Concerto a Viola da Gamba – Concertata G major

A9:2 for viola da gamba, 2 violins, viola  and basso, A2:52–54, reconstructed version, edited by Thomas Fritzsch and Günter von Zadow. We know from 18th century London newspaper advertisements that Abel successfully performed his own concertos for viola da gamba and orchestra in numerous events. Unfortunately, the scores of these concertos have not survived, but the cello and flute version of a concerto that was probably originally a viola da gamba concerto. In this edition we present a reconstruction of the viola da gamba version, following very closely the two originals. Score and parts. Edition Güntersberg
