Corelli - "La Folia" Violin Sonata in D Minor (1)

ARCANGELO CORELLI (1653-1713) Variations on "La Follia" for violin and basso continuo in D minor Op. 5 No. 12 Performed by Hesperion XXI Featuring Manfredo Kraemer, violin Directed by Jordi Savall NOTE: This is the original version of the piece. Not the edited, soul-less, "folia-for-dummies" made for the Suzuki method. *Because this piece is over ten minutes long, I have split it into two videos **"La Folia" is one of the oldest European musical themes. This chord progression has been put to music many times by composers such as Arcangelo Corelli, C.P.E. Bach, Antonio Vivaldi, Allesandro Scarlatti, and Marin Marais.
