Description: This is for our gamba fans but C.P.E. collectors may enjoy the richness of the gamba in the three transcriptions of works written for violin(s). And the personalities of the three early fortepiano copies are strikingly different from each other. Lucile Boulanger (viola da gamba), Arnaud de Pasquale (copy of 1722 & 1726 Cristofori and 1749 Silbermann fortepianos), Laurent Stewart (unidentified fortepiano - Graun).
