Beaver: Passacaglia for solo violin

H.I.F. Biber's Passacaglia is one of the most important works for violin senza basso of the Baroque period, alongside Telemann's 12 fantasias and Bach's sonatas and partitas for violin alone. A 2-bar basso ostinato motif is played around imaginatively and artistically in 60 variations.

In order to do justice to the composition and to be able to play it with fun, the player should master the basics of double stop and running technique (also in higher registers).

The edition was edited and set up for practical use on the basis of Biber's manuscript, a copy of which is attached to the edition.

The technical difficulty (1-10) is between 4 and 5
