Duo TartiniAbout
Though the use of the harpsichord is not to be called into question, other practices are common, particularly in the case of the violin sonatas. This is true even more specifically from the 1740s onwards, the start of the ‘period of transition’ to the classical style and of the development of violin technique. It was unquestionably Tartini and his disciples who pushed this new practice to the forefront. It is one of the features of the current programme to perform the music of these great violinists of the eighteenth century with an accompaniment of solo cello, which, far from being incidental, has a major role in the score; it interacts with the violin’s virtuoso discourse with little imitations, diminutions, pizzicati, chords and double-stops. Other works render justice to the cello as a solo instrument, fully equal to the violin, with the first veritable duets for both instruments, something very much in vogue in the classical period.
This musical itinerary of duets and sonatas for violin and cello offers a new experience, one that is varied and fascinating, with works of great beauty. Yet David Plantier and Annabelle Luis also show us a new sound image: the fullness of only two instruments of the same family is surprising.
