Hebden: 6 Concerti for Strings, Op. 2

Biography

The compositions by this English composer included six solos for flute and bass cello and six concertos for violin, viola, violin cello, and bass cello. He may have been playing the bassoon in London around 1744 and was considered a virtuoso cellist and bassoonist around 1750. The aforementioned compositions were known in Germany, particualrly the concertos, and a portrait of him illustrates Hebden playing the viola da gamba (1741). ~ Keith Johnson, Rovi
