V Piranu rojeni Giuseppe Tartini je bil eden izmed najbolj znanih violinistov
in glasbenih teoretikov svojega časa. V njegovo violinsko šolo v
Padovi so se zgrinjali učenci iz mnogih dežel Evrope. Kot skladatelj je bil
predvsem mojster sonate, ki jo je nemalokrat preoblikoval v prizorišče
virtuoznosti. Zlasti v komornih sonatah (da camera) se je oddaljil od ustaljene,
iz suite izpeljane oblike. Njegova dela so sodobnike presenečala z
izrazno močjo in afektiranostjo ter z drznimi harmonijami. Smisel glasbe
za Tartinija namreč ni bil »preprost čutni užitek, temveč vznemirjenje,
stopnjevanje ali pomiritev afektov s toni«.
Slovita violinska sonata s programskim naslovom »Vražji trilček« je bila
znana že pred letom 1750, izšla pa je posthumno (1798) v Parizu. Ime je
dobila po sanjah, v katerih naj bi Tartini slišal hudiča igrati na violino; ko
se je zbudil, je »vražjo« melodijo oz. trilček poskusil zapisati. Čeprav se
vragov trilček pojavi šele v zadnjem stavku, je z »vražje« težkimi trilčki
začinjena cela sonata. Začetni »Larghetto« v značilnem punktiranem ritmu
in pastoralnemu vzdušju siciliana je le zatišje pred nevihto energičnega in
bojevitega »Allegra«. Kratek počasni »Grave« uvaja zaključni in tehnično
virtuozni »Allegro«, v katerem se sonata izkaže vredno svojega imena:
vodilno melodijo spremljajo številni zadržki in trilčki na drugih strunah.
Vmesni kratki počasni interludiji so le oddih in priprava na zaključno
virtuoznost solistične kadence, kjer kult virtuoznosti že napoveduje kult
virtuoza, s katerim bo čez nekaj desetletij ovenčan Paganini.
Not a great deal is known about the composer, organist and organ maker
Isaac Posch. He was born in Krems, Austria, and attended a Protestant school
in Regensburg, where he obtained his music education. In 1614, he became
an organist in Klagenfurt, most likely also working amongst the Protestant
aristocracy. Between 1607 in 1640, he lived temporarily in Kranj. The first of his
two best known instrumental collections, Musicalische Ehrenfreudt (1618), is
dedicated to the Provincial Estates of Carniola; in 1621 it was followed by the
collection Musicalische Tafelfreudt. The collections primarily contain dance
movements in the northern German or even English instrumental style and
represent an important contribution to the early baroque ‘variation’ suite.
The opening four compositions of the first collection – “ballettas” – were
intended for the entertainment of the aristocracy at mealtime. These are
followed by three-movement suites, which could either accompany a meal
or be used for dancing.

Amongst Antonio Vivaldi’s 500 concertos there are as many as 39 for bassoon,
second in number only to the violin concertos. They were most likely
written for performance in the Venetian institute for orphan girls, Ospedale
della Pietà, which boasted musical activities of an enviable richness and
where Vivaldi was employed; according to his contract with the Ospedale
dating from 1723, Vivaldi was obliged to compose two new concertos each
