Three pieces from Rossi's "Il Primo Libro delle Sinfonie e Gagliarde" that work nicely as a consecutive suite (Sinfonia 11, Sinfonia 2, Gagliarda). On the titlepage of the original print, Rossi suggests as instruments two violins or two cornets and a chittarone. These pieces work however also well on soprano recorders.
The editions are based on scans of the original partbooks, of which an extant copy is now kept in the Staats- und Stadtbibliothek Augsburg (Tonk. Schl. 463-467).
