About this exposition

Violin consorts were an essential part of the musical life in the Habsburg court in the 17h century. Nowadays, its music is rarely performed and remains rather unknown by violinists and audiences. The goal of this research is not only to bring attention to this music, but also to bring light in some aspects of its performance and the problems one may face when trying to perform it. The research is divided in 3 parts: the first is a contextualization of the musical life of the 17th Vienna; the second is the about the history of the violin consort itself and some performance aspects of its practice such as instrumentation and style. The third part is a case study of a project done in June of 2021, under the restrictions of the pandemic of Covid-19. In this chapter I talk about the difficulties I faced, from instrumentation to concert venues, and the decisions I took when adaption was needed.
