After 1740, the art of composing for reduced ensembles, born from counterpoint, gradually fell into oblivion, with solo string instrument works primarily written for technical training or virtuoso display.
Album & Artwork
This album is part of a project called "Inedita," which aims to expand the standard repertoire by recording unknown, discoverable works from past centuries.
Composer's Artistic Vision
The album features works by composers like Max Reger, Donald Tovey, and Richard Wetz, who contributed to a renaissance of solo string instrument composition around 1900, following the tradition of Baroque solo violin music.
Performer Biography

Performer Biography
Anna Kakutia focuses on rarely performed, unjustly forgotten works and actively engages with contemporary music, with a considerable number of compositions written for her.
Album & Artwork
This album is a collaboration between "Beyond the Waves," which provides carefully selected and prepared sheet music for rediscovered works, and "Inedita," which focuses on high-quality recordings of such repertoire.
