Sonaten Alter Englischer Meister 1

Score with lightly realised figured Keyboard part; separate parts for Treble recorder and Basso Continuo.

From the numerous works for Recorder published around 1700, chiefly in Amsterdam and London, only 9 works were chosen for this series of 3 books of sonatas.

William Williams, Andrew Parcham and William Topham are known to us only from the occasional works by them still surviving and by others noted in old publishers' catalogues. Their dates of birth and death are unknown. Nevertheless they offer an engaging glimpse into music-making around the turn of the 18th century.
