Sonata I in D minor and Sonata II in C major for violin, viola da gamba & b. c., edited by Leonore and Günter von Zadow. Three trio sonatas for violin, viola da gamba and b. c. by Young have survived in the Durham Cathedral Library, two of which we are publishing in this edition (Sonata III, see EW846). They differ from the Italian trio sonata type in the use of the viola da gamba as the second solo instrument, whose chordal playing bridges the gap between violin and bass and thus leads to a greater richness of sound. Young was a highly respected English composer and gambist who lived in Innsbruck from 1650. Description by Edition Güntersberg.
