Tomaso Antonio Vitali (1663-1745) became violinist of the d'Este Court Orchestra in Modena at the young age of twelve. As a composer he is mostly remembered as the creator of the Chaconne for violin and continuo. Since the composer's autograph was lost, the work was first published and edited by Ferdinand David from a copyist manuscript in 1867. The Chaconne has also been arranged for violin and organ, violin and string quartet and orchestra with solo violin. It has become an integral part of violin recital programs, known as an ideal opening work. This unique and practical performance edition includes bowings and fingerings by Endre Grant, one ofJascha Heifetz' most acclaimed protégés.
