Biber: Sonatae tam aris, quam aulis servientis (The Parley of Instruments)

Heinrich Ignaz Franz Biber (1644-1704) 是十七世紀中期歐洲最頂尖的小提琴家，不需要加上「之一」二字。他出生一百多年後，英國著名的音樂歷史學家Charles Burney直接斷言：「Biber應當是十七世紀最優秀的小提琴家，而他寫的小提琴獨奏曲裡，也是技巧上最困難的。」和Dresden(德勒斯登)稍微 年輕一點的Paul von Westhoff還有Johann Jakob Walther，這三位德奧音樂家是當時歐洲最有影響力的小提琴家，將小提琴技巧提昇到另一個境界。Biber的許多小提琴作品，也給予差兩輩的大師巴哈在寫他的無伴奏小提琴奏鳴曲和組曲時許多啟發。
