After the Thirty Years' War, the desire of the imperial court of Vienna to assert itself through music allowed the emergence of an extraordinarily gifted generation of musicians expressing themselves with virtuosity, humor, and depth. Schmelzer, Kerll, and Biber are the jewels of this era. For the Carnival festivities, where music holds a prominent place, they delight us with vibrant works that imitate the sounds of nature and everyday life. And to cater to the taste of Emperor Leopold I, who appreciates contrapuntal music of imitative style, they compose these sonatas that have the power to elevate the soul and spirit.
