About this exposition

This research is about the Quinton in the XVIII century through the Six Sonatinas for Five-String Violin and Bass that José Herrando (1720-1763) composed. I will delve deeper into the history of this almost unknown instrument, about the way and the reasons why I found it and what I can say about its origins. In order to get there, I will talk about the relevance that José Herrando had as a violinist and composer, the years of his life in the socio-artistic context of the time in Spain, about the highlights of his work, the mystery of for which instrument this Sonatinas were composed in the end, and about his violin treatise “Arte y punctual explicación del modo de tocar el violin”. I will also share my personal experience with the Quinton and the Sonatinas.
