As it's alternative names 'guitar violoncello' and 'guitare d'amour' suggest, it is in fact a guitar fitted with a bridge, held between the knees like a cello and played with a bow. The instrument enjoyed some success for around a decade, but, oddly enough, almost nothing has survived from it's specific repertory except one supreme masterpiece: the sonata Franz Schubert wrote for it in 1824. The guitar was very popular in Vienna at that time, and Schubert was also fond of it; the original version of Die schne Mllerin was published with guitar accompaniment! Guido Balestracci and the musicians of L'Amoroso have built a delightful Schubertiad around this famous sonata, combining the arpeggione and the piano with voice and guitars to appropriate a rich selection of the Viennese composer's lieder.","brand":"AEC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49211583398130,"sku":"RCR409.2","price":24.55,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0830\/7018\/9810\/files\/3765192-2537758.jpg?v=1778894754","url":"https:\/\/discandvinyl.com\/products\/schubert-balestracci-l-amoroso-schubertiade-with-arpeggione-music-cd-5400439004092","provider":"DiscandVinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
