"Corelli's Op. 7" -- so like Corelli that they were
published as his Op. 7 in the 18th century. An Englishman by birth, John
(Giovanni) Ravenscroft spent time in Italy, where he wrote
these wonderfully approachable trio sonatas. Sequences, strings of
suspensions, imitation, they have it all, but within a satisfyingly easy
technical range.
