"Corelli exercised an unparalleled influence during his lifetime and for a long time afterwards. . To Corelli belong equally the distinctions of being the first composer to derive his fame exclusively from instrumental composition, the first to owe his reputation in large part to the activity of music publishers, and the first to produce 'classic' instrumental works which were admired and studied long after their idiom became outmoded." Grove Music Online Johann Christoph Pepusch (1667-1752), the editor, was a German composer, theorist, and antiquarian who pursued his career in London; he, like many other German, French, and English composers of his time ,drew heavily on the Italian style and music theory in his approach to composition. The title page asserts that these sonatas "also make compleat Lessons for the Harpsicord," raising intriguing questions about 18th century performance practice and the adaptability of chamber compositions for solo instruments. An attractively printed edition. Seller Inventory # 39906
