The Assaggi for solo violin by the Swedish violinist and composer Johan Helmich Roman (1694–1758) are a curious collection of works: wondrously diverse, stylistically forward-looking for the 1730s, and yet they project an aura of being somewhat incomplete, almost as if they serve as a placeholder, a memory of larger, grander compositions. This project employs the Assaggi as a catalyst for creating possible sonic landscapes of this time. Performance by Andrew Wong, baroque violin, and Anders Muskens, harpsichord.
