«guethe wälsche Music»

Rudolf Franz Erwein von Schönborn (1677-1754) brought back the basis of a music collection from his trip to Italy, which he expanded throughout his life. It comprises around 150 printed scores and around 500 manuscripts.

A selection of cello sonatas from Count Erwein's music cabinet can be found on the recently released CD Viaggio italiano. It includes works by Platti, Abbate del Cinque, Romanelli, Vivaldi, Paganelli and Bassani, mostly in first recordings*.
