Joseph Wolfsthal: violin-1928-He died young (1899-1931). It is a pity that there are only a few recordings of him, because he belongs to the top of the violinists with his intense and beautiful warm tone.
which one of his sonatas is this from? I know its from his "The Usable Virtuoso" which is a collection of 12 sonatas for Violin or Traverse Flute, but its gonna be a digging through the manuscript finding which one it is!!!
Thank you for posting this. I did not know of Wolfsthal before. His playing of this is reminiscent of Clara Rockmore's version on the theremin, with its many beautiful slides and shifts.
Nice, thanks

WOW
Upon further research, I've found that this is a transcription of the Air from Mattheson's harpsichord suite in C minor.
Sounds better than the original!

This music is so haunting. I love it. I only wish that the continuo was played by a harpsichord instead of a piano.
