This A major sonata could be regarded as a summation of Bitti’s craft as a composer of violin sonatas. It is also a sonata that comes particularly close to Corelli’s musical language. A long, eloquent Grave leads to a strenuous double-stopped fugue, and this pair of movements is then followed by a ‘lighter’ pair resembling, respectively, a sarabande and a gigue. Throughout the work, the musical language is elevated and smoothly flowing.
