Peter Sheppard Skærved plays The Mets Nicolò Amati violin

Peter Sheppard Skærved performs E Minor Prelude 1700 by Giuseppe Torelli 1658-1709 on a Violin made by Nicolò Amati 1669 1974.229ad.
The works chosen for this instrument stretch from the 1620s up to 1700.
The violin is heard in two different tunings which reveals contrasting colouristic and timbral possibilities.
The instrument is in Baroque set-up and played here with an early bow made by Antonino Airenti of Genoa. GiuseppeJosefo Torelli began work as suonatore di violin in the Bologna Accademia Filarmonica in 1684.
This prelude is one of two published in London by John Walshe as part of his Preludes Voluntarys collection of works for violin alone.
This piece shares certain characteristics with Torellis Concertino per Camera Op 4 1688 but is more extended.
When examined alongside Johann Sebastian Bachs E minor Sonata for violin Continuo BWV 1023 it reveals how much the younger composer learnt from the study of Torelli Bach transcribed one Torelli violin concerto as an organ piece his B minor Concerto BWV 979.
