Violinist in the tradition of the 17th and 18th centuries
They were usually the interpreters of their own compositions. Her works were based on basso continuo (figured bass), the melody was decorated as desired by craftsmanship and opportunity or varies ( improvised ).
Johann Sebastian Bach was an exception in his time, with him it was important to take the smallest notation into account. However, he also mostly left out dynamic instructions such as 'piano', 'forte', 'crescendo' and the like. Works for violin solo (i.e. without basso continuo) are also known by Schmelzer, Biber, Bach and Telemann.
