Baldassare Galuppi (1706-1785) received his first music lessons from his father and later became a pupil of the famous Antonio Lotti. His oeuvre first and foremost includes operas and oratorios but he also wrote chamber music works cantatas and works for piano. Although well-known in his days and highly acclaimed by his contemporaries such as Christian Friedrich Daniel Schubart and Charles Burney for his compositional skills he rather has to be classed among the forgotten composers today. This new edition with 9 of his harpsichord sonatas published in Nuremberg and London during Galuppi's lifetime aims to put things right.
