Franz Clemens Duke of Bavaria: 3 Gallichone Sonatas and 12 Menuettos

The Gallichone was a lute-like instrument primarily of the 18th Century popular in Germany and neighboring areas. The three Sonatas and 12 Menuttos here are delightful pieces that have rarely been heard in modern times and deserve to be performed. The music is easily approachable by an intermediate-level performer and the Menuettos can, for the most part, be played by well-practiced beginners. Have fun!
