Description

Notebook containing Sonatas by Antoni Soler and Carles Baguer. The first was one of the greatest representatives of the keyboard music of the Iberian Peninsula in a style straddling the Baroque and Classicism and Carles Baguer was organist and composer of the Barcelona Cathedral and experienced first hand the arrival of Haydn’s music in Catalonia, a fact that led him to compose symphonies and to be a referent of the Austrian influence in Catalan Classicism. A first part of the notebook includes works by Antonio [Antoni(?)] Soler (Olot, Girona, 1729-El Escorial, Madrid, 1783); specifically there are three Sonatas and a Rondó, while by Carles Baguer folios 9-20 of the notebook contain six Sonatas.
