Edition de Reinhard Goebel
Nearly all of the music from the seventeenth-century court at Dresden was unfortunately lost when Frederick II of Prussia bombarded the city in 1756. Fragments of the repertoire, however, have been preserved in the libraries of the courts of Protestant northern Europe, which were connected to Dresden by friendship or familial ties. Some of these works are presented here as they have been performed and recorded by the ensemble Musica Antiqua Koln, directed by Reinhard Goebel. The editions include both scores and parts.
Dresden Sonatas 2 contains sonatas for two violins, two violas, and basso continuo by Pietro Andrea Ziani (ca. 1616 84), Clemens Thieme (1638 68), and Johann Wilhelm Furchheim (ca. 1635 82).
