Leonarda Through the Looking Glass

Bethany Angus

About this exposition

Although there are numerous female composers of the Baroque period, as far as I know, none of these composers has written for the cello as a solo instrument. This research, Leonarda through the Looking Glass, proposes a compilation and publication of a collection of baroque works written by women that have been adapted for the cello. The case study for this research is Isabella Leonarda’s Sonata no. 12 in D minor for violin, violone and organ, published in Bologna in 1693. I explored the process of transcribing the work for the cello, and what that implies for the basso continuo and the overall affect of the work. I also researched historical fingerings and ornamentation which might be relevant to the performer. ‘What historical information should be taken into consideration when performing Leonarda’s Violin Sonata no. 12 on the cello?’; and ‘How can Leonarda’s Violin Sonata no 12 be transcribed for cello from the original violin sonata?’
