A Second Sett of Six Sonatas for the Harpsichord, Piano Forte and Organ, with Accompanyments for two Violins and a Violoncello op. 4 - Garth, John 1721-1810 (London Welcker)
Keyboard part only
Garth, English composer, organised for many decades a concert series, the Durham concerts, in alternate weeks to those organized by his friend Charles Avison in Newcastle, where Garth played the cello. Garth's fame spread and he taught music to leading families in the region, as well as giving organ recitals. Garth is chiefly remembered for his eight-volume edition with English text of The First Fifty Psalms Set to Music by Benedetto Marcello (1757–65), but he also composed a set of cello concertos (op. 1, 1760) and five sets of harpsichord sonatas (opp. 2, 4–7, 1768–82), among other works.
