Preludio And Ciaconna By Dall’Abaco Arr. Stephen Chin

Evaristo Felice Dall'Abaco was a renowned composer who lived during the same period as the legendary Antonio Vivaldi. As two of the most prominent musicians of their time, they were undoubtedly aware of each other's immense talent.

Dall'Abaco's piece opens with a Prelude that showcases the rich tapestry of part-writing that is characteristic of the Late Italian Baroque style. The harmonies and textures of this section are truly breathtaking and set the stage for the rest of the piece.

The following section of the piece, Ciaconna, is a continuous set of variations on a fixed bass. Dall'Abaco's clever alterations of the bass line figurations while preserving the intrinsic harmony of the piece is a testament to his musical genius. 

Overall, this beautiful work familiarizes players with a variety of textures found in Baroque music. It is a must-listen for anyone who appreciates the intricacies of classical music and the artistry of the composers who created it.
