The old saying goes, "All roads lead to Rome," but if you trace the origins of the violin music that has developed in Europe since the 18th century, you will surely find Corelli's presence there. For example, not only as the origin of the violin music school consisting of master-disciple relationships, but also in the compositional techniques and performance styles of sonatas and concertos, he has been a very important and convincing presence behind the works of the Classical to Romantic periods since the 18th century.

Corelli honed his violin technique in Bologna, which was a treasure trove of string players, and under the patronage of a generous patron in Rome, he focused on compositional technique and was active with excellent colleagues and many pupils. His Sonata Op. 5, his only work for solo violin, is a masterpiece in which the charm of the work is concentrated in every note and neatly tuned.

With the encouraging support of the two performers, who are both well versed in Italian music, we have planned a concert of all of these works. The solo harpsichord and cello works by Roman contemporaries, played by Ms. Hirai and Mr. Kakeda, are also a must-see. Akika Sumi
