Johann Baptist Georg Neruda
Sonata in a minor for Violin and Basso continuo
There has been increased general interest in the Bohemian composer Johann Baptist Georg Neruda (c. 1711–1776) over the past few years, especially due to his frequently played trumpet concerto. A respected violinist and longstanding member of the Dresden Court Orchestra, he did, however, mainly compose for the violin.
The substantial and technically quite demanding Violin Sonata in a minor was published for the first time ever in 1982 as part of our edition “Bohemian Violin Sonatas” (HN 334). We are now proud to present it in a practical single edition with a new preface as well as an additional unmarked part.
