Joachim Held (baroque lute)About
The first dated composition that we have by Silvius Leopold is the Sonata in C minor - composed at the Düsseldorf court in 1706 and very much modelled on the French style. He had been invited to Düsseldorf by Elector Johann Wilhelm, who was very grateful to his brother Karl Philipp for making the young lutenist available for the journey. The following words are handwritten above the sonata: “Anno 6 a Dusseldorf. Ergo nostra juventu comparisce” (Düsseldorf, 1706, thus our youth presents itself). The reference is to the 19-year-old lutenist’s debut at the Düsseldorf court. Various versions of this sonata exist and here we hear the version taken from a manuscript that was written under Weiss’s instructions for the Count of Adlersfeld in Prague. This significant collection of Weiss’s music was sold to a London buyer in 1877 and therefore bears a name that is misleading in view of its true origin: the London Manuscript.
