the legacy of inspiration

I just love discovering unknown works especially in connection to much-loved works.

"Violinist Daniel Hope is renowned for his musical versatility and creativity. He performs in the latest Sinfini Sessions an unusual but beautiful piece by Baroque composer and virtuoso violinist Johann Paul von Westhoff.

The piece is called Imitazione della Campane ('Imitation of church bells') and is deconstructed by Daniel in our second video to shed light on the music and help you understand the special violin techniques used by a little-known violinist-composer who inspired JS Bach."
