Giovanni Battista Serini is a composer all but forgotten today, known exclusively by harpsichordists and pianists thanks only to the three sonatas presented in this recording. In actuality, these works already enjoyed considerable renown at the time of their first publication and were then revised and adapted for the piano and, successively, various new modern editions. Nevertheless, the thorough study of Serini in recent years has revealed him to be quite a unique musical figure of remarkable grandeur. His biography still contains many unknown aspects but thanks to recent discoveries it is being enriched with new elements little by little. These three sonatas were composed by Serini during his Bückeburg period and, like all of his musical output, are in the galant style. They are three authentic masterworks that in some way give us the scope of his compositional talent with the elegance of their writing and the remarkable originality of the themes and their relative development, with solutions, often ingenious and not to be taken for granted.
