D major could be described as the great extrovert key in late Baroque string music, and Florentine composer Martino Bitti's four movement sonata, in the classic slowaEURfastaEURslowaEURfast configuration, does not disappoint in this respect. In particular, the second movement, an allemande like Allegro, tests the player's ability to execute broken chord figures neatly. Bitti's artistic personality always shines through, however, and the music never loses its poise, melodic beauty remaining its highest goal.
