Only a handful of Schreivogel’s compositions for his instrument have survived. Among them is this sparkling three-movement sonata for violin and continuo in E flat major, evidently composed late in his life, which represents the Italian galantstyle at its most resourceful, musically as well as technically. Some moments recall Vivaldi, others Tartini, but this sonata does not lack individual touches, especially in its complex harmony and rhythm.
