Page seven of Three solos for the violoncello with accompaniment for a bass by Johan Arnold Dahmen. Special Collections and Archives, George Mason University.<\/p><\/div>\n

Steven K. Gerber, Music\/Theater Librarian and Adjunct Professor of Music, was recently published in NOTES, the Journal of the Music Library Association (v70 n2 p259). In it he explains the significance of a recently acquired and digitized music score<\/a>. Here is the entry!<\/p>\n

“George Mason University Libraries has acquired and digitized the only extant holograph score by Dutch-born cellist, gambist, and composer Johan Arnold Dahmen (1766\u20131812). Thre[e] Solos for the Violoncello with Accompaniment for a Bass comprises three short, three-movement sonatas, composed ca. 1794 in London, where Dahmen had relocated to live and work. Dahmen composed and performed at least one cello concerto, and published dozens of chamber works; he also played in Joseph Haydn\u2019s orchestra for the second series of \u201cSalomon\u201d concerts. Despite the cover title, the duets appear to be written for performance by two cellos. A high-resolution scan of the manuscript is accessible online at the libraries\u2019 Special Collections and Archives repository, http:\/\/images.gmu.edu\/luna\/servlet\/GMUDPS~27~27 (search for \u201cDahmen\u201d). Scholar\u2013performers at the university\u2019s School of Music are expected to edit, perform, and record these sonatas.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
