Undecima Sonata in C

Set de parties séparées : violino primo, violino secondo, violone, basso continuo Twelve Sonatas, Opus 16 Edited by Stewart Carter The present edition comprises the instrumental works of Isabella Leonard (1620-1703), an Ursuline nun who spent her entire adult life in a convent, the Collegio di S. Orsola, in Novara, Italy. A very prolific composer, Leonarda published nearly 200 compositions during her long life. Most of these are sacred vocal works, but in 1693 she published her Sonate à 1.2.3. e 4. Istromenti, a collection comprising twelve sonatas, eleven for two violins, violone, and continuo, and one solo sonata for violin and continuo. These are the first sonatas published by a woman.
