Tune of the Day: Ciaccona by Benedetto Marcello
from Recorder Sonata No. 12 in F major
This magnificent chaconne is the closing movement of a Sonata in F major for recorder and basso continuo, written by Italian composer Benedetto Marcello around 1712. This is an excellent piece to experiment with trills and ornamentation in general.
