Renaissance and Baroque for strings.

This page collates our renaissance and baroque for strings. That is music which is most suitable for violins. It is divided into unaccompanied solos and duos. Solos and duos with continuo. Finally string ensembles.
Most of the repertoire, especially renaissance music, when scored for a soprano instrument can be considered suitable for Violin or Cornetto. Although the selections below are specially selected for strings you may well find others pieces which also lend themselves to violins and string ensembles.
