Author Comment Rich Rodriguez Registered User Posts: 60 (7/17/01 8:53:15 pm) Reply Johannes Schenck Have any of you performed any of his music arranged for celli? I recently bought his Nymphs of the Rine for two Viola da Gamba. It's really great, I highly recommend a listen. zambocello Registered User Posts: 671 (7/18/01 2:31:10 am) Reply Re: Johannes Schenck Schenck is a fine, near-great composer. Very little heard though because almost all his works are for gamba. Nymphs of the Rine is probably his most famous work. He also has several sonatas for solo gamba, some unaccompanied, some with basso continuo. In some instances his phrasing is a bit obvious and square, but he was a genius at writing beautifully sonorous gamba sounds. I first became acquainted with his works before I took up gamba. I thought his D minor solo sonata would work as a cello transcription. I still think it would, but have never gotten around to making the transcription. (I just play it on gamba.)
